Heikki Hyöty's group studies the role of viruses & other microbes in immune-mediated diseases. Major initiative: Development of enterovirus vaccine against T1D
Turun biotiedekeskuksen ja @InFLAMES_Health -lippulaivan tutkijat ovat tunnistaneet geenien joukon, jolla voidaan ennustaa tyypin 1 diabeteksen etenemistä. #diabetes @LahesmaaGroup @EloLab_fi @Innodiagroup @BioscienceTurku @AboAkademi @SuomenAkatemia utu.fi/fi/ajankohtais…
Enterovirus infections may occur throughout the natural history of type 1 #diabetes and may be associated to islet cell HLA-I hyperexpression. @Teresa_IDF1, @SarahIBEx, @JuttaELaiho #T1D #DiabetesResearch link.springer.com/article/10.100… 🔓
Joint analysis of @DiabetesnPOD tissues finds #enterovirus (EV) RNA in pancreas &lymphoid tissues with selected EV-specific methods. #EV RNA in #T1D spleen was frequent with properties previously observed in persistent infections @hhyotylab @TampeUniMET link.springer.com/article/10.100… 🔓

Together with 8 #EHEN #exposome projects, we advocate for policymaking that fosters healthier urban environments. 🌍🏙️ #Science4Policy #HumanExposome HEDIMED for the EHEN Stakeholder event yesterday in Brussels:
Our joint effort paper with @NykterLab, @HHyotyLab, and the TEDDY group about RNA profiles in children prior to the type 1 diabetes-linked islet autoantibody appearance was selected as a highlight paper of last year. 👏🙂🏆 tinyurl.com/msr9vvsz Photo by Jukka Lehtiniemi.

Happy to share our paper out in Nature Immunology! Here we provide molecular level evidence that inhibiting transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a very promising strategy to treat celiac disease (CeD). nature.com/articles/s4159… #celiacdisease #ZED1227 @celires_tau @TampereUniMET @TampereUni

An important milestone reached in the development of coxsackie B #vaccine against type 1 diabetes: Results of phase 1 human trial were published today showing good safety and immunogenicity. Mission continues! #T1D #enterovirus rdcu.be/dyYni
Are you a #postdoc interested in #immunology and how our immune system reacts to #enterovirus infection and #vaccination? Want to help find a prevention for #T1D? This could be an opportunity for you: ki.varbi.com/what:job/jobID… #postdocjobs @MFT_Diabetes @CIM_Sweden @karolinskainst

Our new study shows that immunological pathways differ in different subtypes of #type1diabetes and the involvement of #enteroviruses in the initiation of the process. go.nature.com/3Rdg5U2 Privileged to work with the talented people from the @NykterLab and @RautajokiLab 🙏

Probiotic intervention doesn't seem to affect beneficial intestinal protists in kids with #CeliacDisease autoimmunity. Surprisingly, the presence of the protists was inversely associated with gut-health-promoting bacteria. Read the new HEDIMED paper here!👇bit.ly/46mjxjp
To find associations between diseases (e.g. #T1D) and viral infections, we need different tools. Niila Jouppila has developed serological tools for enterovirus detection in his PhD work.🔬🧪 Listen to the live stream of the dissertation defence at 11 CET ➡️bit.ly/3FNmRt5

📢Hey immunologists! Register by August 18th for Finnish-Japanese immunology symposium in Turku. 👉 bitly.ws/Kgi4 @UniTurku @AboAkademi @BioscienceTurku @BioCityTurku
Postdocs, check this out! 👇🏻
We’re hiring: Our clever previous postdoc candidates got permanent positions and we have funding for a two year POSTDOC in Oslo to study diabetes epidemiology 2411.webcruiter.no/Main2/Recruit/…
Researchers @BioscienceTurku and @InFLAMES_Health have identified a gene expression signature that can predict the progression of type 1 diabetes. One benefit of such predictive signature could be the ability to intervene earlier in the disease process. utu.fi/en/news/press-…
