AB  - The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) has organised its 
      first educational online course for students and beginners in the field of 
      extracellular vesicles (EVs). This course, "Basics of Extracellular Vesicles," 
      uses recorded lectures from experts in the field and will be open for an 
      unlimited number of participants. The course is divided into 5 modules and can be 
      accessed at www.coursera.org/learn/extracellular-vesicles. The first module is an 
      introduction to the field covering the nomenclature and history of EVs. Module 2 
      focuses on the biogenesis and uptake mechanisms of EVs, as well as their RNA, 
      protein and lipid cargo. Module 3 covers the collection and processing of cell 
      culture media and body fluids such as blood, breast milk, cerebrospinal fluid and 
      urine prior to isolation of EVs. Modules 4 and 5 present different isolation 
      methods and characterisation techniques utilised in the EV field. Here, 
      differential ultracentrifugation, size-exclusion chromatography, density gradient 
      centrifugation, kit-based precipitation, electron microscopy, cryo-electron 
      microscopy, flow cytometry, atomic-force microscopy and nanoparticle-tracking 
      analysis are covered. This first massive open online course (MOOC) on EVs was 
      launched on 15 August 2016 at the platform "Coursera" and is free of charge.
