The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) is an international scientific organization that focuses on the study of extracellular vesicles (EVs),[1] including exosomes, microvesicles, oncosomes, and other membrane-bound particles that are released from cells. Established in 2011, the society is a non-profit entity and a 501(c)(3) corporation in the United States. ISEV is governed by an executive committee. The current president of ISEV (2016-2018) is Andrew Hill; the founding president (2011-2016) is Jan Lötvall.[2] The society publishes the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, the only journal devoted to the topic.

Meetings

As part of its mission to promote scientific research and education, ISEV hosts an annual meeting and educational event as well as numerous workshops on defined EV-related topics. ISEV also co-sponsors or endorses related events.

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles and standardization initiatives

To disseminate research in the field, in 2012, ISEV established the peer-reviewed and open access Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, (J Extracell Vesicles or JEV).[29] JEV is included in PubMed and Scopus. The editors-in-chief are Clotilde Théry (Institut Curie), Peter Quesenberry (Brown University) and Yong Song Gho (Pohang University of Science and Technology), and the founding editor was Jan Lötvall (University of Gothenburg). In addition to research and review articles, the journal periodically publishes position papers of the society[30][31] that are meant to advance standardization efforts.

In 2014, the Executive Committee of ISEV published a set of minimal information guidelines for publication of EV studies.[32][33] These requirements, known as "MISEV," mirror similar initiatives in the fields of microarray (MIAME) and proteomics (MIAPE) analysis, among others. In 2017, the ISEV board announced intent to update these requirements with community involvement.

Education

Among the educational initiatives of ISEV is a massive open online course (MOOC) on the Basics of Extracellular Vesicles, launched in 2016 and available through Coursera. Coordinated by Cecilia Lässer, the MOOC is co-sponsored by the University of Gothenburg, Pohang University of Science and Technology, and the University of California, Irvine.[34]
