Journal ArticleDOI
Probiotics: effects on immunity
TL;DR: The data show that probiotics can be used as innovative tools to alleviate intestinal inflammation, normalize gut mucosal dysfunction, and down-regulate hypersensitivity reactions and suggest that specific immunomodulatory properties of probiotic bacteria should be characterized when developing clinical applications for extended target populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of polyunsaturated fatty acids on probiotic growth and adhesion.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the action of probiotics in the gut may be modulated by dietary PUFA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internalization of novel non-viral vector TAT-streptavidin into human cells
Johanna Rinne,Brian Albarran,Juulia Jylhävä,Teemu O. Ihalainen,Pasi Kankaanpää,Vesa P. Hytönen,Vesa P. Hytönen,Patrick S. Stayton,Markku S. Kulomaa,Markku S. Kulomaa,Maija Vihinen-Ranta +10 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that TAT-SA-PPAA is a potential non-viral vector to be utilized in protein therapeutics to deliver biotinylated molecules both into cytoplasm and nucleus of human cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
BioImageXD: an open, general-purpose and high-throughput image-processing platform
Pasi Kankaanpää,Lassi Paavolainen,Silja Tiitta,Mikko Karjalainen,Joacim Päivärinne,Jonna Nieminen,Varpu Marjomäki,Jyrki Heino,Daniel J. White +8 more
TL;DR: BioImageXD allows simple construction of processing pipelines and should enable biologists to perform challenging analyses of complex processes, and is demonstrated in a study of integrin clustering in response to selected inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clustering Induces a Lateral Redistribution of α2β1 Integrin from Membrane Rafts to Caveolae and Subsequent Protein Kinase C-dependent Internalization
Paula Upla,Varpu Marjomäki,Pasi Kankaanpää,Johanna Ivaska,Timo Hyypiä,F. Gisou van der Goot,Jyrki Heino +6 more
TL;DR: Alpha 2 beta 1 integrin was found inside caveolae and subsequently internalized into caveosome-like perinuclear structures, and the internalization process, unlike cluster formation or lateral redistribution, was dependent on protein kinase C alpha activity.
