Topic: Tiny Messengers, Big Consequences: How Cells Transmit Stress and Health Across Generations

Speaker: Dr. Tracy L. Bale, PhD

Objective(s): 

  1. Describe how extracellular vesicles function as key mediators of communication between cells in health and disease.
  2. Explain how stress and trauma can alter extracellular vesicle signaling and contribute to long-term changes in physiology and behavior.
  3. Recognize the potential of extracellular vesicles as biomarkers for psychiatric conditions, where objective biological indicators are currently lacking.
  4. Explain how extracellular vesicle–mediated signaling may influence embryonic development and intergenerational health outcomes.
