Excited to have @HKilpinen and special guest @ChristianGoritz opening the Stem Cell Seminars of 2025 with focus on neurodevelopment, regeneration and fibrotic scarring in the CNS. Jan 23rd 9 am, welcome! @MIBS_Helsinki @BIOTECH_UH @LifeSciHelsinki @HelsinkiUniMed

A new study from our CoE finds that stem cells can control whether they self-renew or differentiate by localizing certain metabolic reactions differently helsinki.fi/en/faculty-bio… @SuomenAkatemia @helsinkiuni @KatajistoLab @BIOTECH_UH @MIBS_Helsinki @_HienBui @PekkaKatajisto

New from our CoE by @KatajistoLab show how tissue stem cells can metabolically regulate tissue renewal and differentiation by providing daughter cells with peroxisomes of different age and metabolic properties nature.com/articles/s4146… @SuomenAkatemia @helsinkiuni @HiLIFE_helsinki

The @KatajistoLab modeled #epithelial regeneration using small intestinal scaffolds and identified #asporin is a mediator of fetal-like reprogramming. Read the @CellStemCell article: bit.ly/41LJbhn Listen to the conversation: bit.ly/3FBkNHR

Join @CellSymposia #CSMetabolites2025, May 11–13, 2025, in Sitges, Spain—featuring Lulu Cambronne (@LACambronne, @UTAustin) on localized real-time sensors for metabolic signaling. Register by March 28 to save! hubs.li/Q03b54Vs0

Looking forward to have @ChristianGoritz visiting us and introducing perivascular fibroblasts to the Helsinki research community next week

Welcome @ChristianGoritz on Jan 23rd. Excited to hear about your research on perivascular fibroblasts, scarring and regeneration of the central nervous system. The seminar is part of the Stem Cell Seminar series and open to all @LifeSciHelsinki @HelsinkiUniMed @HiLIFE_helsinki

Finishing the year with 1st preprint from the lab! Together with @KatajistoLab and @ValerioIzzi we investigated the role of basement membrane protein Lama5 and found it is critical for luminal breast cancer initiation and growth biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our 2nd biggest yearly event, the MetaStem Fall Seminar. Great Science, networking and sharing of ideas. Thank you all for active participation @KatajistoLab @OtonkoskiL @HTyynismaa lab @HietakangasLab @JetteLeng lab @Rafabolism lab @_DiegoBalboa_ lab MattilaLab

Gut and Heart next up in our Stem Cell Seminar series when the groups of @SaaraOllila and @EmmiHelle share their exciting research, note unusually on a Wednesday, Nov 27th 9-11 am in Meilahti☕️🍪 at 8:30, Welcome! @HelsinkiUniMed @LifeSciHelsinki @STEMMProgram @MIBS_Helsinki

Swetha @SwethaGopalakr2 and Emilia @EmiliaKuul representing the lab at @Fusion_Conf Metbolism in Health and Disease #MHD24 Swetha has a talk later today on organelle asymmetry and metabolism in stem cell fate regulation @MetaStem_Center

Stem Cell Seminars starting again next week after the summer break. First up this semester sharing their exciting research are @_DiegoBalboa_ and @SaarikangasLab Welcome! Sept 19th at 9-11 am ☕️&🍪at 8:30 @STEMMProgram @MIBS_Helsinki @HiLIFE_helsinki @BIOTECH_UH @LifeSciHelsinki

DYK? Astrocytes are related to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s. We support scientists @AWartiovaara + @PekkaKatajisto who are deepening our understanding of cell metabolism which could improve the health of these cells 📸 Sofiia Olander @ASW_Lab @helsinkiuni
