thank you @kennethwitwer.bsky.social and @isev.org for continuing your #EVClub! Just before #ISEV2025 in Vienna/Austria, Carla Tripisciano and Johannes Thaler from ASEV (with intro from Rienk Nieuwland) presented kind of "history" of #extracellularvesicles in terms of their function in coagulation 😎
