Carl Stenvall

Carl Stenvall is a researcher at Åbo Akademi University's Faculty of Science and Engineering, affiliated with the FNT Common InFLAMES Flagship (Innovation Ecosystem based on the Immune System) and Solutions for Health initiatives. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.

Dr. Stenvall's research focuses on the role of keratins in gastrointestinal biology, particularly examining how cytoplasmic keratins maintain nuclear envelope integrity in colonic epithelial cells. His work investigates the consequences of keratin 8 deletion on tissue integrity, colon pathologies, and tumorigenesis. Key research areas include nuclear envelope function, intestinal epithelial cell biology, and the relationship between keratin networks and cellular signaling pathways such as Notch1.

His publication record shows consistent research output with four significant articles spanning from 2017 to 2024, demonstrating ongoing contributions to the field of cell biology as it relates to gastrointestinal health. His most cited work (45 citations) explores how keratins regulate colonic epithelial cell differentiation.
