Exciting News! The scientific programme for the Turku PET Symposium 2025 is live! Join us to explore advancements in PET research with top speakers. Don’t miss this chance to meet colleagues and connect with field leaders. Full programme: turkupet2025.fi/programme #TurkuPET2025

🇫🇮 Phase 1 of the Dive BAT 🤿🔥 study in the books! Very exciting data to look forward to! What an incredible team @TurkuPETCentre @BAT_Turku @kirsiavir Great work @saarenteemu @MueezUdin and Milena Monfort-Pires! Also huge shout out to @Lauralyne_D leading Phase 2 next week!

@DenisPBlondin @TurkuPETCentre @BAT_Turku @kirsiavir @MueezUdin @Lauralyne_D Thanks to everyone involved! Two very smooth days of collecting data.

Our researchers are showing the findings from our Brown Fat studies, conducted @TurkuPETCentre, in the Annual Meeting of the European Association of Study of Diabetes in Hamburg, Germany #EASD2023

Osallistu tutkimukseen, jossa selvitetään säännöllisen kylmäaltistuksen vaikutusta ruskean rasvakudoksen aineenvaihduntaan, ja sen yhteyttä immuunijärjestelmän muutoksiin. ❄️ Lue lisää ja ilmoittaudu mukaan 👇 @TurkuPETCentre #osallistututkimukseen utu.fi/fi/ajankohtais…

@BAT_Turku @Eurovision We are ready.

Activating my 🔥brown fat🔥like Cha, Cha, Cha! 👈🏻🟢🟢😁🟢🟢👉🏻 Today we are supporting #käärijä in Eurovision song contest! @Eurovision 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

Thrilled and honored to receive the prestigious Fellowship 🥳😇 Many thanks to @BAT_Turku team, @kirsiavir @TurkuPETCentre, and all the collaborators (particularly @pirinenlab) for the encouragement and development of ideas. Anxiously looking forward to put plans into practice🔥

Osallistu tutkimukseen, jossa selvitetään aivojen ja kehon aineenvaihdunnan yhteyttä lihavuuteen! 🧠🧠🧠 #osallistututkimukseen @TurkuPETCentre utu.fi/fi/ajankohtais…

New publication alert! @TurkuPETCentre @UniTurku These findings support that heat-producing brown fat (located around our necks) assists brain metabolism during cold stress. mdpi.com/2176780

The doctoral thesis of Teemu Saari has been selected to the top 10 thesis of the year 2022 by Mediuutiset. Congratulations @saarenteemu 👏🏻🥂 Very proud of your achievements and excellent work! @TurkuPETCentre @UniTurku #mediuutiset

Etsimme vapaaehtoisia tutkimukseen, jossa selvitetään kylmäaltistuksen vaikutusta ruskean rasvan aineenvaihduntaan, ja sen yhteyttä immuunijärjestelmän muutoksiin. @TurkuPETCentre #osallistututkimukseen utu.fi/fi/ajankohtais…

Exciting talk of our PI Kirsi Virtanen @kirsiavir in the EASD meeting! Can the thermogenic activation of brown fat be used as a therapeutic target in humans? 🔥

Yesterday we had a very exciting session on the role of brown fat on cardiometabolic health in humans! Thanks to the @EASDnews for the opportunity to present our research @ruizruizjonatan @profithugr @BAT_Turku and to @InFLAMES_Health for its support! Let's go on with the fun! 🤓

New Research: Brown fat triglyceride content is associated with cardiovascular risk markers in adults from a tropical region: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is regarded as an interesting potential target for the treatment of obesity,… frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #Endocrinology #Endo

It has been exciting week for us so far, we performed the first total body PET perfusion scan under ❄cold stimulation using 15O-H2O. With our new total-body PET scanner we are able to detect the metabolism of all organs simultaneously. Exciting times! 🥶🔥😎🎉@TurkuPETCentre

FM Teemu Saari tutki lihavuuden vaikutuksia ruskean ja valkoisen rasvan rasvahappoaineenvaihduntaan ja verenkiertoon. Tutkimus osoitti, että lihavuus vähentää ruskean rasvan rasvahappoaineenvaihduntaa kylmässä ja huoneenlämmössä. #väitös #uniturku utu.fi/fi/ajankohtais…

Teemu Saari @saarenteemu is defending his doctoral thesis today. Very intriguing discussion happening between the opponent Prof. Jonatan Ruiz and Teemu Saari on BAT and WAT metabolism in obesity. Thesis defence can be followed via Zoom meeting platform.@TurkuPETCentre @UniTurku

Proud of our team @TurkuPETCentre @UniTurku focusing on understanding Brown Fat (#BAT) metabolism in adult humans🔥. Our new article is out, showing that the basal and cold-induced fatty acid uptake of human brown adipose tissue is impaired in obesity disq.us/t/3rdsfvu
