To celebrate the holiday season and all we've accomplished this year we had our annual lab outing! 🎄 We played escape games (once again, some of us escaped, and some of us didn't...), then had ourselves a delicious 🍔 dinner! So much fun and great times with lovely colleagues🥂
Congratulations to our doctoral researcher Tuuli Sonninen on receiving a grant for using a human cell-based model of the blood-brain barrier to study vascular dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease. #Parkinsons #bloodbrainbarrier
Kuopio University Foundation, Antti and Tyyne Soininen Foundation and Helena Vuorenmies Foundation have awarded the 2024 grants. The awards ceremony was held on 16 December 2024 at Kuopio Campus. Congrats!

Warm congratulations to Sanni! The second paper of her PhD studies is now out, shedding light on pericytes’ role in #Parkinsons disease and providing new insights into inflammation and vascular changes.

More good news from our lab! Sanni Peltonen et al. has studied pericytes from human iPSCs derived from Parkinson's LRRK2 patients: fluidsbarrierscns.biomedcent…
It may be dark outside but inside Lehtonen lab is BRIGHT 💡 Valtteri Syvänen received 3-year funding for doctoral research @UEF_DPMM congrats! 🥂🥳 Thank you for funding this interesting project and motivated researcher 🤩💪🏻 @AIV_Institute

Congratulations, @NiskanenJonna! Thank you, @UniEastFinland, @UEF_DPMM, and @AIV_Institute, for all the support! Also, thank you, @LehtonenLab, @LabMalm, @KoistinahoLab, and Kelvin C Luk for your contribution.
My first paper is finally out! Uptake of alpha-synuclein preformed fibrils is suppressed by inflammation and induces an aberrant phenotype in human microglia. Grateful to the whole team!

Excited to share our research from @NiskanenJonna project showing how human microglia react in vitro to alpha-synuclein preformed fibrils and inflammation, published in GLIA: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Celebrating many great milestones of our hard work this week! 🥂 1 published paper (Sanni Peltonen & @NiskanenJonna), 1 accepted paper (@NiskanenJonna), & 1 submitted manuscript (Tuuli Sonninen)! Let's go 🥳💪
