Bridging two frontiers: Mitochondria & microbiota, Targeting Extracellular Vesicles 2025 to explore game-changing pathways in medicine
Meeting Announcement
The Second World Congress on Targeting Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) is scheduled for 15–16 October 2025 in Valencia, Spain. This landmark event, co-organized by the World Mitochondria Society and the International Society of Microbiota, will spotlight the rapidly evolving science where mitochondrial biology and microbiome research intersect via extracellular vesicles. 
Heart disease mortality is on the rise in California, accelerated by socioeconomic disparities that disproportionately impact marginalized communities, according to a study being presented at ACC Quality Summit 2025 taking place October 14 – 16 in Denver. It’s crucial to align prevention with equity and implement data-driven, community-focused interventions that address this heightened cardiovascular burden in low-income communities, the authors said.

Previously, the primary endpoint results of the NRG-LU005 study assessing the addition of the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab to standard of care concurrent chemoradiation for limited-state small cell lung cancer was reported at the American Society for Radiation Oncology 2024 Annual Meeting. Those results showed that adding atezolizumab did not improve overall survival (OS) for this patient population. At the same time, an exploratory analysis reported longer median OS among patients who received twice-a-day radiation, though RT schedule was not randomized. As a follow up to that study, a patient-reported outcomes (PRO) analysis explored the impact of the NRG-LU005 treatment regimens on quality of life (QOL). The results of this PRO analysis were recently reported as a late-breaking abstract at the ASTRO 2025 Annual Meeting in San Francisco, California.
