Integrins, matrix, motility and mechanotransduction in cancer

The rapid, transient, and unpredictable nature of interactions between circulating cells and the endothelium challenges the investigation of these events under flow conditions. Here, we developed an i...

Suomen Akatemia on myöntänyt viisivuotisen akatemiaprofessorin rahoituksen InFlames-lippulaivan molekulaarisen solubiologian professori Johanna Ivaskalle ja Invest-lippulaivan sosiologian professor

Epithelial protein lost in neoplasm (EPLIN), an actin-binding protein, has been described as both a tumor promoter and tumor suppressor in different c…

Turun yliopistossa ja Turun biotiedekeskuksessa toimiva tutkimusryhmä on kehittänyt tavan kuvata leviävien rintasyöpäsolujen soluviestintää. Menetelmä on paljastunut, että muihin syöpätyyppeihin parha...

Nature Cell Biology - Conway et al. show that integrin β1 phosphorylation is regulated through balanced activities of tyrosine kinases, such as Src and Arg, and phosphatases, such as PTP-PEST...

Conway et al. show that integrin β1 phosphorylation is regulated through balanced activities of tyrosine kinases, such as Src and Arg, and phosphatases, such as PTP-PEST and Shp2, facilitating invadop...

Ivaskan työryhmä tutkii syöpäsolujen liikkumista ja leviämistä.

The Finnish Science Award 2025 has been awarded to Johanna Ivaska, Professor of Molecular Cell Biology at the University of Turku.

Palkittu syöpätutkija kritisoi hallituksen säästöjä, jotka kohdistuvat yliopistojen perus­tutkimukseen.

Professori Johanna Ivaska pitää syöpää erityisen kiehtovana tutkimuskohteena ja innostuu siitä yhä uudelleen.

Integrin adhesion complexes mediate cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions and undergo dynamic remodelling to regulate cell adhesion and migration. Here, we demonstrate that tensin 1 (TNS1), a m...

Focal adhesions (FAs) are mechanosensitive structures that mediate force transmission between cells and the extracellular matrix. While Traction Force Microscopy (TFM) quantifies cellular tractions ex...
