When people keep asking how my 'social life' and 'mental health' are doing lately.
Me:

Yeah, the rate at how everything in Science in being questioned/rebutted by Kennedy, not sure if future generations will not pay the ultimate price.

This is actually pretty amazing! So sweeteners can indeed replace to a certain degree the sugar intake and have beneficial effects in life. Might as well have my energy drink 0% sugars today 😁

SEPTIN9 locally activates the RhoGEF ARHGEF18 to promote early stages of mitochondrial fission, say Rachel Shannon, William Trimble and colleagues @sickkidsto.bsky.social @utoronto.ca: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

#Cytoskeleton #Biochemistry #Mitochondria #septins

All for this would not be possible without the funding agencies that keep supporting me: #SuomenKulttuurirahasto #SKR @inflames-flagship.bsky.social @utu.fi #TurunYliopistosäätiö #ScandinavianSocietyofImmunology #SSI @efis-immunology.bsky.social @eurjimmunol.bsky.social

I also got to attend the #IUIS25
@iuis-online.bsky.social
conference, where I presented my work as a poster. I really like these immunology conferences in the context that we can see what is out there. It was both overwhelming and exciting, and gave me some ideas on what to do next. 👀

It was so inspiring to meet the people behind most septin papers, and it made me even more excited to keep digging into this topic. A big cheers to an amazing conference and such a hosting and friendly community, definitely willl not be the last! (cont)

Busy, busy summer. I had the amazing opportunity to attend the #SeptinSRC in beautiful Niagara Falls and give a short talk on the potential role of septins in B cells and antibody responses. It honestly felt a bit surreal as for the first time I I was the one who knew the least in the room 😁 (cont)

COVID-19 vaccine type controls stromal reprogramming in draining lymph nodes Different COVID-19 vaccine formulations have distinct effects on the stromal cell landscape and function of draining lymph nodes.

Excited to share our new research on lymph node stromal cell responses to vaccines! Research performed in @salmilab.bsky.social with excellent collaborators.

Well if you could, I would also love to have a read 🙏

Microtubule-driven cell shape changes and actomyosin flow synergize to position the centrosome Schaeffer et al. show that the centrosomal array of microtubules is positioned by the contraction of the actomyosin network and the reorganization of cell

not a joke:
Could someone please send me by DM the PDF of my paper which is behind paywall and I don't have access to it...

Thanks !

🥲🥲

Well sometimes maybe good 😃

It's out!! Some more wizardry from @henriqueslab.bsky.social @christlet.bsky.social labs! Try it, you will love it.
Grateful to have been involved in it's awesome project

Are you looking for a postdoc?
I will be looking for 2-4 people after the summer to join the lab !!
Do not hesitate to reach out and disseminate !!

Woah superb and well deserved!! Congratulations 🎉🥳

The amount of elisa plates matches my expectations for my data. It also happens to match the failures 😬 a picture incoming before going on holidays. #itiswhatitis

US is going completely bonkers. Actually a bit spooked with all that is going on. + researchers getting detained at the borders is another huge red flag and others deported/losing funding. Wild, wild west.

really sad to hear :( stay strong

really??? that bad huh?

Tired: work alone in your project.
Wired: Slowly convince everyone in the lab to work on your project and help you "finish"

10/10 reccomend 😆

A bittersweet moment for @sarahdezperez.bsky.social that in the end, we could make the most out of it! And of course, our awesome leader @mattilalab.bsky.social.
A big thanks to all our funders and specially @inflames-flagship.bsky.social ad Finnish Cultural Foundation for their continuous support.

Enhanced antibody responses in CD19-Cre mice - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Enhanced antibody responses in CD19-Cre mice

A great start of the year for Mattila's lab! 🤗 In our report, we delve into CD19-Cre mouse model enhanced antibody responses (one of the most commonly used Cre-lox systems for generation of B cell conditional KOs).

I can't believe he is crippling 80% of the country like that. Tough times ahead. Stay strong 😔

First paper of the year! Enhanced antibody responses in CD19-Cre mice.
A big thanks to @diogoc41.bsky.social for being my hands in the lab, and of course to @mattilalab.bsky.social
