Happy to share our new manuscript from @OorniLab @MaijaRuuth and Patrick Rensen's group @UniLeiden showing that South Asians have #LDL that is prone to aggregate - a marker of poor #LDLquality lipidjournal.com/article/S19…

It"s going to be a good day, when this tweetorial is the first thing you see in twitter. A good read for anyone interested in #cholesterol. Excellent job by @POhukainen

We are looking for a post-doc researcher to join our group in Helsinki, Finland to study atherogenic properties of lipopoproteins using in vivo and in vitro models. Please DM if interested.

An interesting article about the uptake of aggregated #LDL by macrophages.
Cofilin-1, Vav and Cdc42 identified as key regulators of lysosomal synapse formation, digestion of aggregated LDL and foam cell formation, a process critical for initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. @MaxfieldLab ow.ly/yZ3n30n3EVM

Erinomainen yhteenveto!
Julkaisin uuden blogikirjoituksen "Lyhyesti: LDL-kolesteroli aiheuttaa sydäntautia": valtsuhealth.blogspot.com/20… Voisiko esim @KatiOorni tai @POhukainen pyytää ihan lyhyttä oikolukua tästä?

The "audiobook” in the form of a 5 part series on lipidology (jokingly referred to as “the week of Dayspring”), well illustrated and referenced, that premiered last week is all at peterattiamd.com/podcast/ Check out the other podcasts also

Suuri osa suomalaisesta tutkimuksesta tehdään apurahojen turvin ja jo nyt jää paljon hyviä hankkeita rahoittamatta. Pliis hallitus, älkää tehkö tutkimuksesta ihan mahdotonta.
Ei hyvää päivää taas hallitus! Nyt on suunnitteilla muutos, jonka seurauksena n 3000 taiteilijaa ja tutkijaa jää ilman apurahaa joka vuosi tästä eteenpäin. Tämä lienee sitä koulutukseen, tutkimukseen ja sivistykseen panostamista. Ahdistaa nuorten tutkijoiden puolesta. Ei näin.
