Read about how research into lymphatic function is changing our understanding of immune regulation in the lungs in our review: doi.org/10.1016/j.co... Congratulations to co-authors Amy Rivers and Camila Migues Ramirez!

Irena Roci et al. @petrovalab.bsky.social show that the water channel AQP1 sustains lymphatic endothelial cell migration under osmotic stress, establishing tissue #osmolarity as a key biophysical determinant of postnatal #lymphangiogenesis. rupress.org/jem/article/... #lymphatics #AQP1

Happy to share that our latest work on VEGFR2 in lymphatic endothelium is published @natcomms.nature.com “VEGFR2 is required for VEGF-C–VEGFR3–PI3Kα-mediated sprouting lymphangiogenesis” tinyurl.com/47bns9pp This project has been a long journey for the lab @taijamakinenlab.bsky.social , A thread.

I am looking for two postdocs to join our lab - One (bio)image analyst - One cell biologist interested to work on lymphatics! The positions will open soon, be in touch!

This beautiful work from the lab in Uppsala @taijamakinenlab.bs made it to the cover ! Happy to be part of it ! Congrats again to the first author Marle Kraft ! Stunning images

Extremely grateful to be granted a two year post-doctoral fellowship by @embo.org to study the earliest phases of mutant to malignant cell transition during breast cancer initiation using intravital microscopy. Thank to @vanrheenenlab.bsky.social for the immense support! @nkinl.bsky.social

After 5 years my scientific chapter in Uppsala is coming to an end. Two weeks ago I have successfully defended my PhD thesis at the Mäkinenlab. Big thanks to Taija for being a true mentor and to Holger Gerhardt for acting as my opponent and critically assessing my work.
