Loved every moment at the GRC! Thank you @tomvanagtmael.bsky.social for taking care of the power hour and letting us connect with the new, fantastic wave of #ECMatrix scientists!!

And we are all absolutely in love with this idea 🌳🌳🌳

@mghnmrtn.bsky.social you did a fantastic job all throughout the GRC!! 🔥🔥🔥

Next time!!! ♥️💪💪💪

MatriCom – the extracellular matrix reloaded The extracellular matrix (ECM) is made up of hundreds of proteins, including structural core ‘matrisome’ proteins, factors that associate with and regulate ECM architecture and dynamics, and ECM recep...

And what about *they also made a commentary of our work*??? I really really love JCS!!!

Am I back from the best conference ever? Yes! But do I also see a crucial tool for the analysis of the #ECMatrix in scRNAseq? Also yes!! Another fantastic tool in collaboration with @nabalabuic.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥

Screenshot of an email announcing the acceptance of our manuscript decribing a new computational tool called MatriCom in the Journal of Cell Science

A great way to start the day 😃

It's all a scheme by big antivirus software companies!!!! 😂😂😂

Anyone attending the ECM Nexus Joint Meeting of the German, Danish and Finnish Societies for Matrix Biology in Freiburg??? Let's catch up!!! Find us in poster #32!!! @matrixbiologie.bsky.social @valerioizzi.bsky.social @ccstorytime.bsky.social @nystromlab.bsky.social #ECMnexus

Finland's first support center for racism victims in oulu

Way to go Oulu!! 💪💪💪

A fantastic seminar coming your way? Yes!! But is it also free? Yes!!! But is it also about the ECM? YES!!!! Register now!!! 👇👇👇

Registration is still open to this exciting meeting! Besides cutting edge science and nice people, it’s also a fantastic location to take a bit of a break from it all!

Macrophages promote collagen deposition through circadian regulation of fibroblasts Collagen deposition in fibroblasts, the primary collagen-producing cells, is regulated by both macrophages and the circadian rhythm, although how these regulatory processes interact with one another i...

I have the greatest respect for all of you who are trying to find ways to make people understand how MAGA is destroying research in the US, I really do! But what about you show the world what happens when too much is too much and shut all down for good? I mean, #STARTARIOT!

Super excited to host @tranejoan.bsky.social for @unioulu.bsky.social seminar series!!! Cool stuff about #collagen coming in 3...2...1...

And how cool is that?? 🤩🤩🤩

My pleasure to work with you @tomvanagtmael.bsky.social !!

Do you want to know more about MatriCom by @nabalabuic.bsky.social and yours truly? AI got you covered (and it's pretty cool)!!! 🤩👇👇👇

Proud of my university @unioulu.bsky.social ! 💪

Come join us in Freiburg! EXTENDED DEADLINES AND FANTASTIC SPEAKERS!!

Please spread the word and sign up for our exciting spring meeting in Nottingham with amazing speakers on the topic of ECM, immunity and infection. An exciting and developing field! paacr4.wixsite.com/bsmb-spring2...

This Friday! An historical event marking the dawn of Indian society for matrix biology (with yours truly talking about #matrisomics)!

What a fantastic way to celebrate the end of the year!! Thanks @johannaienglund.bsky.social for having me onboard!! 🤩🤩🤩

I can't be more stoked to start my #scienceblue feed with this! OOPS WE DID IT AGAIN with @nabalabuic.bsky.social ! 🤩🤩🤩 And for the nerds, this is all in @rshiny.bsky.social ! #democratizescience #bigdataforall #ECMatrix
