Uusi koetin tekee näkyväksi syöpäsolun viestinnän, tutkijat voivat käyttää tietoa rintasyövän leviämisen estossa
Turun yliopistossa ja Turun biotiedekeskuksessa toimiva tutkimusryhmä on kehittänyt tavan kuvata leviävien rintasyöpäsolujen soluviestintää.
Miten syöpäsolut leviävät ja voidaanko sitä estää? Toistaiseksi ei, mutta tämä saattaa muuttua. Turun biotiedekeskuksen tutkijat löysivät keinon avata syöpäsolujen viestintää, ja tämän tiedon kautta saattaa löytyä lääke syöpäsolujen pysäyttämiseen.

New visualisation tool helps researchers to target breast cancer dissemination
Cancer cell movement during metastasis is a dynamic process regulated by several different signals.
Signaling networks inside #cancer cells control everything from growth to movement, but visualising this in living cells requires new and refined methods. Researcher James Conway set out to see these invisible signals and came up with a new tool to do just that.

New visualisation tool helps researchers to target breast cancer dissemination - InFLAMES Research Flagship
Cancer cell movement during metastasis is a dynamic process regulated by several different signals. However, the way cells receive, process and respond to these signals has been extremely hard to dete...
In a new study led by InFLAMES PI Professor Johanna Ivaska and Dr James Conway have developed a new fluorescent probe to visualise signaling dynamics in moving cancer cells which they used to uncover a new therapeutic possibility for limiting breast cancer spread.

New paper from @ivaskalab.bsky.social out now! 🍾 Watch how cancer cell adhesion dynamics are disrupted by inhibiting the phosphatase Shp2 - key to integrin β1 phosphorylation. Blocking Shp2 impairs adhesion and reduces invasion potential. 🎥👇 Read more at: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our newest paper is out in NCB. @jrwconway.bsky.social designed a new FRET reporter, Illusia, to show the importance of integrin β1 phosphorylation dynamics in 3D invasion! Video: TNBC cells expressing Illusia with a Src (Saracatinib) or SHP2 (SHP099) inhibitor. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Syöpä | Johanna Ivaska selvittää, miksi kaikki ihmiset eivät sairastu syöpään – ”Kukaan ei pysty suojaamaan itseään täysin”
Kaikissa ihmisissä jotkut syövän esiasteet eivät kehity koskaan syöväksi, sanoo syöpätutkija Johanna Ivaska. Hän sanoo, että ihmiset voivat itse vaikuttaa syövän syntyyn korkeintaan kohtuullisesti.
Niin, miksi kaikki tupakoitsijat eivät sairastu keuhkosyöpään eikä uskollisinkaan auringonpalvoja välttämättä saa melanoomaa🤔. Tutkijamme Johanna Ivaskan mielenkiintoinen haastattelu @hs.fi :ssä (tilaajille).
