What is NCMM? Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM) is an international biomedical research centre, with the overall objective of translating basic medical research into clinical practice. NCMM is a part of UiO’s interdiciplinary focus on life sciences. In the…
While, the University of Bergen is opening slowly, but surely, the thesis defenses are still on-line events. Thomas, my young Padawan, had his trial under fire on 26th of May 2020 with about 40 people attending this event. Technology-wise everything…
We are happy to announce that I joined the Editorial Board for Communication Biology. More details here: https://www.nature.com/commsbio/about/editorial-board#Chera Communication Biology is a new open access journal from Nature Research, publishing high-quality research, reviews and commentary in all areas of…
A new experience for all of us: Thomas will defend his work in a digital event on 26th of May 2020. Trial lecture: Tuesday 26 May 2020, kl.1015 Title: “Pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes” Public defense: Tuesday 26 May 2020,…
Our recent study on iPSC-derived human pancreatic progenitors initial response to in vivo is now published: The main goal of this study was to demultiplex and characterize the initial response of the hiPSC-derived differentiating pancreatic progenitors to the in vivo…
Our study on iPSC-derived human pancreatic progenitors in vitro differentiation is now published: The main goal of this study was to characterize the impact of cell confinement on the pancreatic islet signature during the guided in vitro differentiation of alginate…
Simona has been invited by the organizers Raphaël Scharfmann, Philippe Froguel and Gérard Gradwohlto to give a plenary talk on Islet Cell Plasticity: cellular and molecular mechanisms of islet cell fate and interconversion at this year’s EASD Islet Study Group…
Our latest work on iPSC-derived human pancreatic progenitors differentiation is now out for Early View: The main goal of this study was to characterize global effect of brief and prolonged in vivo hyperglycaemia exposure on the cell fate acquisition and…
I’ve been invited by the organizers Johan Fernø, Valeriya Lyssenko, Ola Hansson and Pernille Svalastoga to give a plenary talk on Beta Cell Fate at this year’s Obesity and Diabetes Nordic meeting: Prediabetes and Obesity – whom to treat and…
Congratulations to Andreas Mathisen, who has received a 4-years PhD fellowship from the Faculty of Medicine, UiB. #PhDlife Andreas will start his project early 2020 working on complex genetic setups in order to dynamically characterize the surviving β-cell feedback to…
Our latest review on regeneration breaks in different animal models is now out for Early View. We discuss about: Most attention on tissue regeneration has focused on the exploration of positive cues promoting or allowing the engagement of natural cellular…
Congratulation to Yngvild for her published article, in which our collaborators show that: some reprogrammed cell lines present an unstable state leading to spontaneously differentiate and change their cellular phenotype and colony morphology; by comparing the proteome landscapes of 20…
