New preprint alert!📣 @DibusMichal and team take a deep dive into Tensin1 liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and the mechanisms of how it regulates adhesion dynamics! Check out the preprint here: https://t.co/RAIC1RgaNd

Can you recognize our costumes? 😉

Excited to share some of my PhD findings! Go check out how A/B polarity orientation is controlled in CRC metastasis @IvaskaLab @JaulinLab

The most recent preprint from our most recent PhD graduate Dr Nicolas Pasquier. Orientation of mucinous CRC apicobasal polarity is regulated by tumor-stroma interactions. This work was a collaboration with @JaulinLab at the Gustave Roussy Institute.

Ivaska Lab has now moved to @bluesky 🦋!!
We will keep this handle active for a few more weeks during this transition, although all the fun science updates will soon only be 'there' :) You can find us with the same name, looking forward to re-connecting with everyone😊

[Nicolas Pasquier @pasquier_nico]

About a month ago, I defended my thesis prepared in @IvaskaLab and @JaulinLab
A day full of science, and the end of a big life chapter for me!

[Wickstrom-Lab @WickstromLab]

Excited to share our latest work on an image analysis paradigm that combines cell state and morphology analyses of patient biopsies at single cell resolution to uncover clinically relevant head-and-neck #cancer phenotypes! @CellCellPress https://t.co/ijdKjiwHXl tweetorial👇

The best way to rejuvenate after an all-day lab meeting, you ask? An action packed game of laser tag (pew-pew!)🔫🔫
Major missing :( boss @johannaivaska

[Ivaska Lab @IvaskaLab]

New pre-print! @Follain_Ga and team develop a super cool pipeline to work out the intricacies of immune and PDAC cell adhesion to HUVECs and extravasation under flow. Fantastic collab with @guijacquemet lab and @SalmiLab. Congrats🥂

Another "not to be missed" review on "The role and regulation of integrins in cell migration and invasion" by @IvaskaLab @johannaivaska @MeganChastney J.Kavola, , V-M. Leppänen

[Ivaska Lab @IvaskaLab]

Third of the year and the biggest review article now out!
Massive effort from @MeganChastney, Jasmin Kaivola, Veli-Matti Leppänen & @johannaivaska! Discover all about integrins in migration, invasion and cancer right here: https://t.co/0WaY8mtFm5
Congratulations to the team 🥳!

[Johanna Ivaska @johannaivaska]

@IvaskaLab THE review on 'everything' you have ever wanted to know about integrins in cancer, invasion and migration. Many cool new concepts highlighted from the beautiful research from experts in the field 👇@MeganChastney #VMLeppänen #JasminKaivola

@WickstromLab & myself are happy to announce the program for the upcoming Fibronectin, Integrin & Related Molecules Gordon Research Conference. This is one of the oldest GRC conferences around (since 1982) & we put together an OUTSTANDING program for y'all. Registration is open.

[Patrick Oakes @pwoakes]

We wrote a fun review all about the different types of mechanosensing and the ways cells regulate these important processes. Check it out!

[Ivaska Lab @IvaskaLab]

Congratulations to our new Dr Nicolas Pasquier who beautifully defended his PhD thesis yesterday, in front of 6 jury members! Nicolas has been a joint PhD student b/w us and the @JaulinLab at Gustave Roussy.

[Ivaska Lab @IvaskaLab]

Latest from Ivaska Lab▶️ @johannalilja_, Kaivola et al. report an unanticipated way to kill KRAS mutant cancer cells by disrupting SHANK3-KRAS interaction 👌😎
Congratulations to all the authors and check the paper out here 👉https://t.co/jBhVwNkua6

[Johanna Ivaska @johannaivaska]

What happens when unexpected happens!? 1) @johannalilja_ @IvaskaLab #JasminKaivola identified SHANK3 as a KRAS inhibitor 2) predicted SHANK3 depletion boosts KRASmut tumors 3) observed SHANK3 depletion kills KRAS-cells by ERK hyperactivation, apoptosis https://t.co/NqlpH64URy
