Excited to share our new study showing how rhabdomyosarcoma cells respond differently to the inhibition of cholesterol synthesis compared to healthy myoblasts. Great work by a recent PhD Nebeyu Gizaw🎓

Mechanical loading induces distinct and shared responses in endothelial and muscle cells and reveals exercise-like molecular profiles Skeletal muscles and blood vessels are continuously exposed to mechanical forces, particularly during exercise. We subjected human endothelial and skeletal muscle cells to cyclic mechanical stretch an...

Our new study together with @juhahulmi.bsky.social shows that:

Congratulations Taija, well deserved!

Mechanical loading reveals cell type-specific responses and role of PHGDH in endothelial cell growth Skeletal muscle and blood vessels are constantly subjected to mechanical forces, especially during exercise. We subjected human endothelial cells (ECs) and muscle cells (MCs) to cyclic mechanical stre...

Check how differently muscle cells and endothelial cells respond to mechanical loading from our latest study. Great work by @erikniemi.bsky.social @smantyselka.bsky.social and collaboration with @juhahulmi.bsky.social. Supported by @wrihelsinki.bsky.social

Wihuri Research Institute Symposium 2025 - Wihuri Research Institute Since 2013, the Wihuri Research Institute (WRI) has been organizing the annual WRI Symposium, providing a platform for researchers and students to share knowledge and insights in cardiovascular resear...

Exciting days ahead at the Wihuri Research Institute @wrihelsinki.bsky.social as we host #WRISymposium and #EVBOSummerSchool next week in Helsinki.

Looking forward to inspiring talks and scientific exchange with the #VascularBiology community!
