Spatial transcriptomics (and other -omics!) is a promising technology that offers more information about cellular systems. @KiviahoAntti gives us a taste of new discoveries with @NykterLab using spatial transcriptomic in prostate cancer tissue. tumorgenetics.blog/2024/12/12/eat…

Our investigation into the prostate tumor microenvironment is now out in Nature Comms: nature.com/articles/s4146… We combined publicly available scRNA-seq data with in-house spatial transcriptomics samples to jointly anayze data from 120 patients. Here’s what we found 🧵 1/6

Communication is important even at the intra-cellular level. @SiniHakkola @NykterLab explains its role in cancer development in our latest blog post: tumorgenetics.blog/2024/05/07/unr…

Could club cells be the key to understanding prostate cancer therapy resistance? We performed integrative analysis on single-cell & spatial transcriptomics data from more than 100 patients. Preprint out now: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to Ebrahim Afyounian and Thomas Fleischer @TF_82 for a good defence on Friday! We had a wonderful evening celebrating the closing of Ebrahim’s journey to PhD @NykterLab. 🥰

Our new study shows that immunological pathways differ in different subtypes of #type1diabetes and the involvement of #enteroviruses in the initiation of the process.  go.nature.com/3Rdg5U2 Privileged to work with the talented people from the @NykterLab and @RautajokiLab 🙏

Another @Prostatakreft #blueribbonpin has been appointed for #prostatecancer #research! Congrats Dr Sinja Taavitsainen (lnkd.in/d7M9j4TJ) for the brilliant defence vs @jweischenfeldt . Supervision of Prof. #MattiNykter @NykterLab #Tamperepcrc @TampereUniMET @TampereUni

Today we had a great recreational day at #Ahtialanjärvi with @NykterLab, building nesting boxes for endangered bird species and observing some birds.

Come to talk ⁦@NykterLab⁩ at the poster19-line43 at the #aacr23 #prostatecancer #spatialtranscriptomics #spatialbiology #celltype #deconvolution

PhD students Tuomo Virtanen and Antti Kiviaho presenting their posters at #AACR2023. Come to talk about our work on chromatin conformation and spatial transcriptomics in prostate cancer.

@CoEinTG Fascinating updates and important discussions at the SAB (Scientific Advisory Board) meeting of the Centre of Excellence in Tumor Genetics today. Tomorrow we will continue with workshops to discuss further and deepen our collaborations. #cancerresearch

Here’s our @Nature paper on v deep whole-genome sequencing of serial ctDNA and met tissue. @cherberts1, Matti, Joonatan et al applied new methods to give fascinating insight into temporal #ProstateCancer clonal complexity and evolution of resistance. 1/7 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Large grant recipients Steve Bova and Matti Nykter are reverse engineering the evolution of aggressive prostate cancer. The results can help develop new cures for prostate cancer. sigridjuselius.fi/en/news/steve-… @NykterLab @TampereUniMET @TampereUni #EWAC2022 #cancer

Long anticipated #snogfibtra2022 symposium ongoing in Helsinki. Three days of presentations on exciting top level neuro-oncology research. @Granberg_Lab @TampereUni

Nice discussion about prostate cancer and emerging treatment options in MTV Uutisaamu this morning. Thanks for invitation and this opportunity @MTVUutisaamu @Syopasaatio

Very excited to receive @SuomenAkatemia funding to continue studying human microglia in neurodegeneration! Big thanks to my mentors @zauggj @HiltunenLab and of course the members of the labs, and I look forward to continuing this field of research in @NykterLab @TampereUni

Prostate cancer research center seminar ongoing at Murikanranta. Two days of presentations and discussions on our ongoing work. @TampereUniMET
