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…
The Preprint Highlighters Sergio Menchero, Jesus Victorino, Teresa Rayon, Irepan Salvador-Martinez came with a great idea of listing all the preprints presented at EDBC 2019 currently taking place in Alicante, Spain. Of course, our own first preprint is included 🙂…
The 17th World Congress of the International Pancreas and Islet Transplant Association was held on 2-5 July 2019 in Lyon, France; gathering nearly 350 attendees from over 30 countries to discuss the latest developments in pancreatic beta cell replacement to…
For a fantastic presentation today and a perfect exam! Good job! Master Thesis Title: “Mapping β-cell senescence and proliferation quiescence in wild-type and diabetic mice” External examiner: Marijana Licina Internal examiner: Karl Johan Tronstad Supervisors: Assoc. Prof. Simona Chera, Dr.…
We have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Marijana Licina from the University of Geneva Medical School in Geneva, Switzerland. She will talk about extracellular vesicles in Acute Myeloid Leukemia on Friday, 21st of June 2019 at Glasblokkene Aarsogsalen.
Current published protocols for targeted differentiation of human stem cells toward pancreatic β-cells fail to deliver sufficiently mature cells with functional properties comparable to human islet β-cells. We aimed to assess whether Wnt-modulation could promote the final protocol stages of…
For courageously defending your PhD thesis today! PhD Thesis Title: “In vitro modulation of pancreatic islet cell fate characterized by mass spectrometry-based proteomics” st opponent: Professor, Per-Ola Carlsson, Uppsala University, Sweden nd opponent: Dr. rer. nat. Natalia Soshnikova, Institute of Molecular Biology…
Simona and Luiza will present some work progress on different projects running in the lab at the Bergen Stem Cell Consortium Research Seminar on Friday, 12th of April 2019 at Glasblokkene
