 The Acquisition of Exosomes from Edible Plants in Healthcare and the Opening of New Horizons in Regenerative Medicine

 At the congress conducted at Atatürk University, Prof. Dr. Fikrettin Şahin's research in the field of regenerative medicine garnered significant attention. Şahin underscored the significance of exosomes derived from edible plants in intercellular communication and tissue repair during his presentation, "Exosomes Obtained from Edible Plants Used in Regenerative Medicine." He also asserted that these natural structures have the potential to be applied in a variety of applications, including the treatment of diseases and the enhancement of the immune system. Şahin, who underscored the significance of assessing these plants as a sustainable resource in his research, disclosed remarkable information regarding the potential applications of exosomes in the field of health in the context of scientific advancements.

 Scientific Solutions to a Global Issue: Herbicide-Resistant Weeds

 At the congress, Prof. Dr. Meisam Zargar delivered a presentation entitled "A Global View of Herbicide-Resistant Weeds and Management Options" that addressed a critical issue that was threatening the agricultural sector. Zargar asserted that the incorrect and excessive application of agricultural pesticides results in the development of herbicide-resistant plants, which has adverse effects on the ecosystem and agricultural productivity. Zargar provided the audience with effective management strategies that can be implemented on a global scale, as well as recommendations for sustainable agricultural practices and biotechnological methods to address the issue.

 The congress, which will be held from December 19-22, 2024, will be attended in person or online by 164 participants from 24 various countries. It is asserted that the studies presented at the congress will be placed in a significant position within the academic community upon their publication in scientific journals.

 This international event, which addresses the most recent advancements in the domains of agriculture, food, and animal husbandry sciences,
