🔬 We have reached the final day of #EISG2025 in Malmö and we're looking forward to today’s programme. Professor Klaus H. Kaestner kkaestner.bsky.social from University of Pennsylvania gives a keynote lecture on the human islet in diabetes – lessons learned from the Human Pancreas Analysis Program. 🧫

Beautiful evening in Skåne. @kcltype1diabetes.bsky.social @eisg2025.bsky.social

Amazing talks by @diegobalboa.bsky.social, @labspagnoli.bsky.social, Simona Chera and many other colleagues yesterday at @eisg2025.bsky.social ! I'm also really glad for the opportunity to share our recently published work. Looking forward to more exciting talks today!

#type1diabetes

At @eisg2025.bsky.social in Sweden — loving the science, the chats, and the new ideas! @williambw.bsky.social showcasing some of our team’s ongoing research.
If you’re here too, come say hi! Excited to learn, share, and connect with brilliant minds in islet biology!

#eisg2025 #kclt1grandchallenge

Excited to be participating at @eisg2025.bsky.social #eisg2025 in beautiful Malmö!

Excited to be presenting one of my PhD projects at #eisg2025 🧬✨

Come say hi at poster 211 or just come chat👋🏻 if you're interested in how a lncRNA might regulate PD-L1 expression in pancreatic beta cells🧫💥

Would love to talk science! 😊 @eisg2025.bsky.social

Great opening yesterday @eisg2025.bsky.social meeting! Glad to see many interesting talks using INS-1 rat cells to study β-cell function—I couldn’t help but wonder how these treatments might affect Ri-lnc1 expression, our recently reported novel rat long non-coding RNA enriched in mature β-cells 👇
