Come study lymph nodes, stromal cells and all other exciting things with us!

Amazing, congrats to all 👏🏽 Looking forward to new exciting findings in the lymphatics field!

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.
