Welcome to the PhD defense of @hienbui.bsky.social Age-selective segregation of organelles in asymmetric stem cell division, on Fri 7 Nov at 1 pm, Biocenter 2, 2041. Opponent Prof Carien Niessen, University of Cologne @helsinki.fi @hilife-helsinki.bsky.social #publicdefense #phddefense

Suomen Akatemia on valinnut 11 uutta tutkimuksen huippuyksikköä ohjelmakaudelle 2026–2033. Niistä viittä johdetaan Helsingin yliopistosta. Yhteensä yliopiston tutkijat ovat mukana kahdeksassa uudessa huippuyksikössä. www.helsinki.fi/fi/uutiset/y...

Still time today to sign up and submit an abstract for this excellent symposium

On Tue Oct 14th @simonsterson.bsky.social will defend his thesis Age-selective organellar metabolism in tissue stem cell function, at 1 pm in Biocenter 2 2041, Viikki. Excited to have Jared Rutter @rutterlab.bsky.social as the opponent 🎩⚔️ Welcome! @metastem.bsky.social @hilife-helsinki.bsky.social

Check out the symposium organized by our CoE, excited to have Marcia Haigis, @lydiafinley.bsky.social, Matthias Hebrok and Tom MacVicar over in Helsinki in November. Sign up by October 22nd 👇

Welcome to the Stem Cell Seminar next week Friday Oct 3rd at 9-11, ☕️🍪 at 8:30. Exciting science on embryo development, ECM, cancer and stem cells by Juha Kere and @johannaienglund.bsky.social labs. See you there! @hilife-helsinki.bsky.social @helsinki-biotech.bsky.social @stemmprogram.bsky.social

#CFM_MolCellAging: The third session will deal with the regulation of aging processes, with talks by @pekka-katajisto.bsky.social  @metastem.bsky.social  @helsinki.fi and Salvador Aznar @irbbarcelona.org   Registration: http://bit.ly/4kOyYch   🤝With support of @caixaresearch.bsky.social

Pekka Katajisto @katajistolab.bsky.social introducing Nobel laureate Shinya Yamanaka who will talk about 2 of my favorite topics: sciences and marathons

Also read the research briefing on our latest paper in @natmetabolism.nature.com

Proudly presenting Simon’s @simonsterson.bsky.social‬ paper on asymmetric apportioning of old mitochondria biasing intestinal stem cells for the Paneth cell linage through aKG-dependent metabolism @naturemetabolism.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s42... @helsinki.fi @metastem.bsky.social 🧵1/8

Thank you to the organizers of the fantastic meeting #CSMetabolites2025 Kivanc Birsoy @robzonculab.bsky.social and @cellpress.bsky.social editors Allyson Evans @kristabledsoe.bsky.social We had a fantastic time in Sitges, looking forward to this meeting happening again! @cellpressevents.bsky.social

Happy to present Hien’s paper on age-selective apportioning of peroxisomes as a fate determinant in adult stem cells www.nature.com/articles/s41... @metastem.bsky.social @helsinki.fi @ki.se @helsinki-biotech.bsky.social out now in @natcomms.nature.com A thread 🧵 1/9

Tomorrow, welcome!

Welcome to the Stem Cell Seminar April 23rd. Stem cell metabolism of both tissue and pluripotent stem cells on the menu with exiting presentations from @rafabolism.bsky.social and @rutorregrosa.bsky.social @stemmprogram.bsky.social @helsinki.fi @helsinki-biotech.bsky.social @fimm-uh.bsky.social

The @katajistolab.bsky.social modeled #epithelial regeneration using small intestinal scaffolds and identified #asporin is a mediator of fetal-like reprogramming. Read the @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social article: bit.ly/41LJbhn Listen to the conversation: bit.ly/4kTt36a

Excited that Pekka is presenting at @CellSymposia Metabolites: Organellar Communication in Health and Disease this May 11–13, 2025, in Sitges, Spain! The abstract submission deadline has been extended until Feb 14th. Hope to see you at #CSMetabolites2025 cell-symposia.com/metabolites-...

Finishing the year with 1st preprint from the lab! Together with @katajistolab.bsky.social and @valerioizzi.bsky.social we investigated the role of basement membrane protein Lama5 and found it is critical for luminal breast cancer initiation and growth www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
