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/2024/12/1…

Our investigation into the prostate tumor microenvironment is now out in Nature Comms: nature.com/articles/s41467-0… 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

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/10.1101/…

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 🙏

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

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

It's important to understand how cancer alters the surrounding tissue in order to understand tumor progression and why some tumor cells are resistant to treatments. New blog out! From Smoothies to Fruit Tarts: The Development of Spatial Transcriptomics” tumorgenetics.blog/2022/01/1…
Uusi vuosi 2022!✨Professori Matti Nykterin tutkimusryhmä on neljäs suurapurahan saaja. Nykterin johtama tutkimusryhmä Tampereen yliopistolla selvittää syövän molekyylitason mekanismeja ja tutkii erityisesti eturauhassyöpää. syopasaatio.fi/myonnetyt-apu… #tutkimus #syöpä #syöpätutkimus
