Enterovirus infections may occur throughout the natural history of type 1 #diabetes and may be associated to islet cell HLA-I hyperexpression. @Teresa_IDF1, @SarahIBEx, @JuttaELaiho #T1D #DiabetesResearch link.springer.com/article/10… 🔓

Joint analysis of @DiabetesnPOD tissues finds #enterovirus (EV) RNA in pancreas &lymphoid tissues with selected EV-specific methods. #EV RNA in #T1D spleen was frequent with properties previously observed in persistent infections @hhyotylab @TampeUniMET link.springer.com/article/10… 🔓

Our joint effort paper with @NykterLab, @HHyotyLab, and the TEDDY group about RNA profiles in children prior to the type 1 diabetes-linked islet autoantibody appearance was selected as a highlight paper of last year. 👏🙂🏆 tinyurl.com/msr9vvsz Photo by Jukka Lehtiniemi.

An important milestone reached in the development of coxsackie B #vaccine against type 1 diabetes: Results of phase 1 human trial were published today showing good safety and immunogenicity. Mission continues! #T1D #enterovirus rdcu.be/dyYni

Our new study shows that immunological pathways differ in different subtypes of #type1diabetes and the involvement of #enteroviruses in the initiation of the process.  go.nature.com/3Rdg5U2 Privileged to work with the talented people from the @NykterLab and @RautajokiLab 🙏

Probiotic intervention doesn't seem to affect beneficial intestinal protists in kids with #CeliacDisease autoimmunity. Surprisingly, the presence of the protists was inversely associated with gut-health-promoting bacteria. Read the new HEDIMED paper here!👇bit.ly/46mjxjp

To find associations between diseases (e.g. #T1D) and viral infections, we need different tools. Niila Jouppila has developed serological tools for enterovirus detection in his PhD work.🔬🧪 Listen to the live stream of the dissertation defence at 11 CET ➡️bit.ly/3FNmRt5
