How do #stemcells integrate information to make fate decisions? Check out our latest preprint where we find that growth factors regulate the mechano-osmotic state of the #nucleus and #chromatin to determine whether to retain or exit #pluripotency🧵👇biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Fantastic piece of work showing the POWER of combining epithelial and mesenchymal cell states and image mapping to predict clinical cancer outcomes! Congratulations to @KaroPunovuori @WickstromLab and the entire team! Exciting new direction!
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 cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092… tweetorial👇

New imaging analysis technique revolutionises diagnostics of head and neck cancers. A study developed a new technique to accurately analyse the properties of cancer cells and the surrounding tissue at the level of individual cells. @WickstromLab helsinki.fi/en/news/cancer/n…

Tutkimusryhmämme on kehittänyt uuden analyysimenetelmän syövän täsmädiagnostiikkaan. Toivomme että tämä parantaa tulevaisuudessa potilaiden elämänlaatua ja ennustetta. Lue lisää täältä 👇
Uusi teknologia luo syöpäpotilaan solunäytteistä yksilöllisen "sormenjäljen", jonka perusteella voidaan arvioida syövän ennustetta ja hoitovastetta. Tulokset ovat läpimurto syövän kehityksen ymmärtämisessä ja diagnostiikassa. @WickstromLab @HelsinkiUniMed helsinki.fi/fi/uutiset/syopa…
