Aggressive oral cancer can be identified at an early stage by changes in lymphatic vessels Oral cancers with a high risk of recurrence can be identified at an early stage by examining the lymphatic vessels of the tumour.

Oral cancers with a high risk of recurrence can be identified at an early stage by examining the lymphatic vessels of the tumour. The high number of proliferating lymphatic vessels predicted cancer recurrence and death better than any other previously known risk factor for oral cancer.

Just added this to my “Got to test this” list!

The interplay between organized lymphoid structures and thermogenic adipose tissue Advances in the immunometabolism field have shown that infiltrated immune cells play a pivotal role in the development and function of thermogenic adipose tissue (TAT), including brown and beige fat. However, scarce research has focused on the role that organized lymphoid structures, like lymph nodes and lymphatics vessels, may exert on TAT. In this review we summarize the evidence suggesting that a significant link exists between the lymphoid tissues and adipose tissue, and we describe the most important in vitro and in vivo findings indicating that organized lymphoid tissues also play an important role in TAT biogenesis and function, raising relevant questions which are still unsolved in this emerging field.

A big thanks to the Research Council of Finland and Sakari Alhopuro Foundation for funding my postdoctoral work!

COVID-19 vaccine type controls stromal reprogramming in draining lymph nodes Different COVID-19 vaccine formulations have distinct effects on the stromal cell landscape and function of draining lymph nodes.

Excited to share our new research on lymph node stromal cell responses to vaccines! Research performed in @salmilab.bsky.social with excellent collaborators.
