Our latest study on mechanical profiling of colorectal cancer organoids is out! We've uncovered a distinct phenotype in cancer stem cells (red 👇) caused by differences in membrane-to-cortex attachment. Led by Sefora Conti IBEC #PhysicsOfCancer rdcu.be/dE8Qn

Now online! Synthetic protein circuits for programmable control of mammalian cell death dlvr.it/T5y2GY

Only five days left to register for this great meeting organised by Metastasis Research Society

What's new? Come tell us at the Beatson conference in July.

Excited to finally share our work in Developmental Cell describing how Hippo pathway transcription regulators navigate the nuclear environment and interact with the genome to control gene expression in live tissues. 🧵1/8 authors.elsevier.com/c/1i~Wd5Sx5gxk…

The lab’s latest paper, which gives new insights into how the Hippo pathway controls transcription. 6 years in the making, lots of powerful techniques learned. Great work by Sam and the whole team. Thanks v much Elizabeth Hinde biophysics guru Developmental Cell Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute Peter Mac Research

Our ‘Featured image’ this week was acquired by Sujan Ghimire 🇳🇵🇫🇮 from Guillaume Jacquemet's lab. It shows a U2OS cell stained for paxillin (cyan hot) and actin (red hot). You can read more about the image and Sujan’s research in our blog post: focalplane.biologists.com/2024/04/26/fea…

Delighted to share one of my favorite images featured by FocalPlane! Huge thanks to FocalPlane for this wonderful opportunity!

Had a fun time with the lab yesterday Ivaska Lab . It was my first visit, and I was amazed by all the new experiences. Still feel refreshed and in awe. Thanks Johanna Ivaska for hosting us :) I think I'm falling in love with Finland 💜😁

One week left to apply! This is a great opportunity to develop a cutting-edge research program in bioimage analysis and computer vision together with world-leading developmental biology and image-based systems biology pioneers. jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen…

Latest from the Ivaska Lab Eplin alpha isoform correlates with mesenchymal phenotype and supports actin-dependent recycling of Rab21 endocytosed integrin cargo to drive BrCa migration biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I love to read/review paper that start with "...By serendipity, we found..." Biology surprises us every time! and it is great that people still follow unexpected and surprising observations

I am super proud to see James establish his own lab after a truly amazing 6 years in Ivaska Lab. If you want to see great things in the future, whatch this space ✨️ helsinki.fi/en/researchgro…

Vuoden 2024 Elias Tillandz -palkinto myönnettiin 29.8. BioCity-symposiumissa Johanna Ivaskan ja James Conwayn johtamalle tutkimukselle, joka osoitti rinnan terveen rasvakudoksen voivan ehkäistä syövän leviämistä. Onnittelut! 💐 BioCity Turku Ivaska Lab utu.fi/fi/ajankohtais…

Onnea Johanna Johanna Ivaska ja James👏🔥👍! Ivaska Lab

🥳 Over the moon that our new story on mitochondrial mechanotransduction has been accepted for publication. Long process but the result was worth it. Implications for mechanobiology, mitochondria, metabolism and YAP/TAZ 👀 lovers. Stay tuned for more to come soon.

Want to work with this happy bunch of Westermarcklab people at world class research environment TurkuBioscience. We have a POST-DOC position open in a cool #HNSCC biomarker project. Check the details here and please RT if it doesn't match you. bioscience.fi/westermarck-la…

September issue of JCellBiol also contains our new paper on TLNRD1 (talin rod domain containing 1) protein and its role in the Cerebral Cavernous Malformation complex. rupress.org/jcb/article/22… Guillaume Jacquemet Inst of Systems, Molecular & Integrative Biology School of Biosciences, University of Kent Turun yliopisto - University of Turku

My commute this morning ☺️ Ivaska Lab in #TheHappiestCountryInTheWorld TurkuBioscience is starting our European Research Council (ERC) AdG funded project BorderControl on tumor-matrix crosstalk limiting cancer progression. We are looking for postdocs! Pls contact me for more info
