New preprint alert!📣 @DibusMichal and team take a deep dive into Tensin1 liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and the mechanisms of how it regulates adhesion dynamics! Check out the preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @johannaivaska

FM Jasmin Kaivolan väitöskirjassa tutkittiin, kuinka mekaanisten voimien palauttaminen voi heikentää syöpää edistävää signalointia äänihuulen syövässä. Kudoksen tasapainon ylläpitäminen mekaanisten voimien suhteen on tärkeä syövän estämisessä. utu.fi/fi/ajankohtais…

Excited to share some of my PhD findings! Go check out how A/B polarity orientation is controlled in CRC metastasis @IvaskaLab @JaulinLab ▶️ biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

IIvaska Lab@IvaskaLab · Nov 21

The most recent preprint from our most recent PhD graduate Dr Nicolas Pasquier. Orientation of mucinous CRC apicobasal polarity is regulated by tumor-stroma interactions. This work was a collaboration with @JaulinLab at the Gustave Roussy Institute. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ivaska Lab has now moved to @bluesky 🦋!! We will keep this handle active for a few more weeks during this transition, although all the fun science updates will soon only be 'there' :) You can find us with the same name, looking forward to re-connecting with everyone😊

About a month ago, I defended my thesis prepared in @IvaskaLab and @JaulinLab A day full of science, and the end of a big life chapter for me!

IIvaska Lab@IvaskaLab · Sep 24

Congratulations to our new Dr Nicolas Pasquier who beautifully defended his PhD thesis yesterday, in front of 6 jury members! Nicolas has been a joint PhD student b/w us and the @JaulinLab at Gustave Roussy.

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 @johannaivaska

New pre-print! @Follain_Ga 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 @SalmiLab. Congrats🥂 Take a look here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We wrote a fun review all about the different types of mechanosensing and the ways cells regulate these important processes. Check it out!

JJ Cell Science@J_Cell_Sci · Sep 24

In their Review, @Stefano_R_Sala, @AlexiaCaillier and @pwoakes @LoyolaChicago discuss the principles and regulation of mechanosensing. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

Latest from Ivaska Lab▶️ @johannalilja_, Kaivola et al. report an unanticipated way to kill KRAS mutant cancer cells by disrupting SHANK3-KRAS interaction 👌😎 Congratulations to all the authors and check the paper out here 👉rdcu.be/dTQDP

JJohanna Ivaska@johannaivaska · Sep 13

What happens when unexpected happens!? 1) @johannalilja_ @IvaskaLab #JasminKaivola identified SHANK3 as a KRAS inhibitor 2) predicted SHANK3 depletion boosts KRASmut tumors 3) observed SHANK3 depletion kills KRAS-cells by ERK hyperactivation, apoptosis rdcu.be/dTQDP
