Congratulations to Fred de Sauvage on election to National Academy of Sciences - celebration FusionConf #ISC22


Tässä porukassa on Suomen tieteelle huikeaa uutta vetovoimaa. Itse olen erityisen onnellinen (ja ylpeäkin) Nallen Nalle Pentinmikko johdosta.


In a new collaborative study led by Van Rheenen Lab we show that stem cells in the small intestine find their way home through retrograde movements nature.com/articles/s4158… rdcu.be/cRydc 1/5


Detailed protocol on how to differentiate functional pancreatic islets from stem cells sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Great effort by OtonkoskiLab including Tom Barsby and many others Medicine and Health, University of Helsinki #stemcells #diabetes #scislets #pancreas

🚨JOB ALERT🚨: 2xPhD positions open for enthusiasts of stem cells & cancer metabolism in my #newlab at the University of Helsinki University of Helsinki in the world's happiest country, Finland 🇫🇮. Check out Institute of Biotechnology (BI) HiLIFE_Helsinki. Send an email/DM. Please RT🙂 #newPI


Has been amazing to follow the full journey of this concept from a doodle on a napkin into the paper. The ultracools Rodrigo Lozano, PhD and Nalle Pentinmikko took the idea to places none of us foresaw. Big thanks to all collaborators too!


📣Are you interested in working with stem cells and tissue geometry? Do you have expertise in bioengineering? Then you might be the one we are looking for. Apply by Dec 16th. Please RT jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki/7… University of Helsinki MetaStem Karolinska Institutet

Happy to announce that our latest research has been published in J Cell Science! We found a mechanism of how luminal epithelial cells control the identity and function of basal mammary epithelial cells. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article-ab…

Part 2 on the special role(s) of Laminin a5 in the mammary gland is out! JohannaIEnglund dug deep and found how this luminal cell factor restricts potency of their basal neighbors, and balances generation of the two lineages during remodeling. Congrats Johanna and collaborators!




Excited to participate the program with Anu Suomalainen Wartiovaara. Thank you Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
