Sherin Saheera pursued both her undergraduate and graduate studies in Biotechnology at the University of Kerala, India. She completed her Ph.D. in Cellular and Molecular Cardiology at the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Kerala, India. During her doctoral research, she worked under Dr. Renuka Nair, focusing on the study of cardiac stem cell aging in hypertensive rat models. Following her Ph.D., Dr. Saheera joined the lab of Dr. Prasanna Krishnamurthy at the University of Alabama, USA, and investigated the molecular mechanisms through which exosomes enhance the recovery process after myocardial infarction. Currently, she is pursuing postdoctoral training at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, USA, focusing on deciphering the role of epigenetics in cardiovascular development.

Exosomes - Recent Advances from Bench to Bedside is a comprehensive book exploring the field of exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles that regulate physiological and pathological processes. Organized into three sections, this book discusses various aspects of exosomes. The first section focuses on the use of exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells, including their applications in cardiovascular diseases and tissue engineering. The second section explores the role of exosomes in infectious diseases, encompassing immune reactions, pathogen transmission, and tuberculosis. The final section discusses the applications of exosomes such as drug delivery, signaling mechanisms, and even aesthetic purposes. This book provides valuable insights into the current understanding and potential applications of exosomes in diagnostics, therapeutics, and beyond.
