Journal ArticleDOI
Extracellular vesicles are integral and functional components of the extracellular matrix.
Kirsi Rilla,Anne-Mari Mustonen,Uma Thanigai Arasu,Kai Härkönen,Johanna Matilainen,Petteri Nieminen +5 more
TL;DR: This review addresses the relevance of EV as specific modulators of the ECM, such as during the assembly and disassembly of the molecular network, signaling through theECM and formation of niches suitable for tissue regeneration, inflammation and tumor progression to translational medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using online game-based platforms to improve student performance and engagement in histology teaching.
Szabolcs Felszeghy,Sanna Pasonen-Seppänen,Ali Koskela,Petteri Nieminen,Kai Härkönen,Kaisa M. A. Paldanius,Sami Gabbouj,Kirsi Ketola,Mikko Hiltunen,Mikael Lundin,Tommi Haapaniemi,Erkko Sointu,Eric B. Bauman,Gregory E. Gilbert,David A. Morton,Anitta Mahonen +15 more
TL;DR: This study lends support to the use of gamification in the teaching of histology and may provide a foundation for designing a gamification-integrated curriculum across healthcare disciplines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal weight regulation of the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides): interactions between melatonin, leptin, ghrelin, and growth hormone.
TL;DR: The raccoon dog is a middle-sized omnivore with excessive autumnal fattening and winter sleep, with fat accumulated in the autumn as the principal metabolic fuel and in the winter, leptin, ghrelin, and GH may work in synergy to increase lipolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fasting reduces plasma leptin-and ghrelin-immunoreactive peptide concentrations of the burbot (Lota lota) at 2 degrees C but not at 10 degrees C.
TL;DR: The results support previous studies in stating that immunoreactivities resembling mammalian leptin and ghrelin can be detected in burbot plasma and liver, but the specific functions of these peptides will have to be determined in future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptations to fasting in the American mink (Mustela vison): carbohydrate and lipid metabolism
Anne-Mari Mustonen,Teija Pyykönen,Tommi Paakkonen,Ari Ryökkynen,Juha Asikainen,Jari Aho,Jaakko Mononen,Petteri Nieminen +7 more
TL;DR: The results of the present study suggest that the mink has not evolved sophisticated adaptations to wintertime fasting, suggesting its ability to utilize its body lipids during fasting may be limited.
