Dear network, I am starting my research group in Turku, Finland (09/2023). We will be studying #lysosomes and #extracellularvesicles in B cell lymphomas. Now looking for a PhD student, preferably someone with an eye on EVs and microscopes! If you know anyone interested, pls share

I'm very thankful to Johanna Ivaska and Aleksi Isomursu for letting me participate to this great project! I am now continuing the work and hope to make other interesting discoveries about negative durotaxis 🤩

Ivaska Lab James Conway et al., demonstrate: increased number of (integrin) clutches enables cell spreading and adhesion signaling on soft when cells are able to engage multiple ECM ligands | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… great collab with MisvikBiology Aleksi Isomursu Gautier FOLLAIN

Our latest work with Jonna Alanko, Sara Hernández Pérez, Pieta Mattila and others is out! We established a new method for dynamic micropatterning (dynamic control over cell size, shape and cell-substrate interactions). Key takeaways below. | onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm… 1/5

Happy to represent the lab and starting to spread some Christmas vibes! 🎄

Congratulations Johanna Ivaska 🎉👏

Excited to be back in UK and to present my durotaxis in breast cancer metastasis project 🤩

Check out the cool recent review from Michal Dibus Omkar Joshi and Johanna Ivaska highlighting emerging tools in cell adhesion research, now published in COCEBI! Link here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I had a great time at the BSCB Biochemical Society ECF cell migration conference, seeing cool science and meeting great people! I am getting a little vibe of Birmingham 🇬🇧 before heading back to Turku 🇫🇮

Check out our durotaxis review if you want to know more about positive and negative durotaxis in single cell and collective migration, their mechanisms and related computational models!

It's so cool that J Cell Science plants a tree for every paper they publish 🌳 ours is apparently a silver birch! Positive and negative durotaxis – mechanisms and emerging concepts forest.biologists.com/landscape/?id=…

Mathilde Mathieu Mathilde Mathieu, Aleksi Isomursu Aleksi Isomursu and Johanna Ivaska Johanna Ivaska Turun yliopisto - University of Turku review our current understanding of context dependency in durotactic migration. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

Super excited to share our preprint from my #PhD work CRUK Scotland Inst on how #metabolism of micrometastatic cells influence #sEVs to generate invasive microenvironments. Huge thanks to Cassie Clarke & Jim for the amazing supervision and all our collaborators for their invaluable input!

My commute this morning ☺️ Ivaska Lab in #TheHappiestCountryInTheWorld TurkuBioscience is starting our European Research Council (ERC) AdG funded project BorderControl on tumor-matrix crosstalk limiting cancer progression. We are looking for postdocs! Pls contact me for more info

Currently at the microphysiological systems workshop in Cargèse, learning cool stuff about organoids and organs-on-chip, and enjoying the beautiful landscapes 🤩 Looking forward to present my poster tomorrow ! #microphysio2024 IES Cargese

Third of the year and the biggest review article now out! Massive effort from @MeganChastney, Jasmin Kaivola, Veli-Matti Leppänen & Johanna Ivaska! Discover all about integrins in migration, invasion and cancer right here: rdcu.be/dVB6n Congratulations to the team 🥳!

New pre-print! Gautier FOLLAIN and team develop a super cool pipeline to work out the intricacies of immune and PDAC cell adhesion to HUVECs and extravasation under flow. Fantastic collab with @guijacquemet lab and Research group of Professor Marko Salmi. Congrats🥂 Take a look here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The best way to rejuvenate after an all-day lab meeting, you ask? An action packed game of laser tag (pew-pew!)🔫🔫 Major missing :( boss Johanna Ivaska

I had such a great time meeting other EMBO Fellows ! Thanks EMBO for organizing this amazing meeting and for supporting us in our research and career

Migrating on the other social media with a Blue butterfly logo, see you there 👋
