Today we got our new imaging system for automated spatial proteomics installed! Maria Semenova is already eager to image thymuses. Thank you @zeiss_micro, we are excited to be the first users in Finland for the new system integrating imaging and fluidics. Funded by @ERC_Research

New article! Contrary to previous reports, we couldn’t detect a link between DNA viruses persisting in the thymus of patients with myasthenia gravis. Instead, persisting viruses are common in the thymus, also in healthy individuals. academic.oup.com/jid/advance-ar…

We are recruiting! Are you looking #postdoc position and are interested in #thymus ? I’m hiring two postdocs to work in our @ERC_Research funded new project ProtecTHY where we want to learn how the thymus protects itself during HSCT. Shares appreciated! jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki-P…

We found in #APECED #APS1 patients decreased % of #MAIT in circulation that closely correlated with elevated serum IFNg. Out in @EurJImmunol! @IivoHetemaki Th1 immune dysregulation might cause reduced MAITs also in many other #inbornerrorofimmunity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…

Täällä somessa on esitetty huolta että #Covid_19 infektio aiheuttaisi pitkäaikaisia vaurioita immuunipuolustukselle. Tutkimusryhmäni on tutkinut asiaa ja olemme julkaisseet aiheesta kaksi artikkelia nyt alkuvuonna. Pieni ketju, mutta tl;dr - immuunijärjestelmä ei vaurioidu!
