Last Friday, @InflamResCen hosted IRC Science Day:
A day packed with inspiring talks that showcased the diverse work of our institute. Science also met creativity during the Science Fair 🎡 We had a blast putting a creative spin on what we do in the lab!

Thrilled to share our paper exploring the role of Smpd3 in EV biogenesis is now published in @ISEV_JExBio!
🔬We took a novel approach beyond common pharmacological inhibitors by creating both full-body and conditional Smpd3 KO mice. Read more below👇

Contrary to expectations, Smpd3 deficiency did not affect EV release, both in vivo and in specific cells such as mixed cortical cultures and bone marrow derived macrophages.

Our findings suggest that Smpd3's role in EV biogenesis might vary depending on cell type or species, indicating its effects are not universally consistent across different cellular contexts.

What a week! The results of our clinical trial with FMT in Parkinson's disease were published and this received a lot of attention in the local media. Today we presented our results at the yearly conference of the Flemish patient organisation (@parkinsonliga).
