6/ We are now studying the bacterial extracellular vesicle proteomes to learn more about their potential functions and to develop novel tools for targeted investigations. Stay tuned - preprint coming soon!

5/ Researchers at @UniOulu reported bacterial extracellular vesicles in the human amniotic fluid. This suggests that they may also stimulate the early development of the immune system. doi.org/10.1186/s40168…

Talk about bacterial extracellular vesicles by @MikaelNiku at #MOVE2025. They are thought to mediate microbe-host interactions in the intestine and possibly beyond. We investigate the vesicle proteomes of the mammalian intestinal microbiota. 🧵

Presenting our research on the effects of gestational antibiotics on offspring microbiota, immune system and growth, and on bacterial extracellular vesicle proteomes at @iuis_online #IUIS2025!

Rose gave an excellent talk at the @BioCityTurku symposium "Unleashing the power of metabolism" #BCS2024!

Welcome to the Metabolism seminar next week Friday Dec 8th 9-11am in Viikki. Exciting talks on #lipidomics in human disease by @samrip lab and maternal #microbiome #metabolites in development by @MikaelNiku lab. ☕️🍪at 8:30 @LifeSciHelsinki @FIMM_UH @HiLIFE_helsinki @BIOTECH_UH

Exciting new research on prenatal host-microbe interactions from our colleagues in Oulu! x.com/MicrobiomeJ/st…

Presenting our research at the meeting of the Finnish Society of Developmental Biology! Great event, great atmosphere.

How does the maternal microbiota modulate fetal development? We compared fetal intestine, brain and placenta from germ-free and normal mice. We saw broad differences in gene expression, associated with known & novel microbial metabolites. Now @BMCBiology: doi.org/10.1186/s12915…
