Our study led by @riikka-k.bsky.social demonstrate benefits of the combined gene delivery of Pro-MSTN and VEGF-B on muscle growth & body comp. The scRNAseq results suggest various cell types & their crosstalk in muscle growth.

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
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...

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!
