At the 24th HUPO World Congress in Toronto, the theme "One Health Powered by Proteomics" emphasized the deep interconnectedness of humans, animals, microbes, and environments. In an article in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News, Gustav Ceder shares his impressions from this world congress together with thoughts and perspectives from some of the big players in the proteomics field...Read more

At the annual Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) meeting in Toronto, 25 HPA-affiliated members contributed more than 25 talks and posters across sessions. Among them was Loren Méar, researcher in the HPA and a postdoc working both in Pauliina Damdimopoulou's group at Karolinska Institutet and Cecilia Lindskog's lab at Uppsala University. Loren was selected as a poster competition finalist for her work "Spatial proteomics uncovers structural and molecular complexity of the human ovary in 2D and 3D."..Read more

The version 25 of the Human Protein Atlas has been launched with lots of additional data and new features. Data corresponding to all human protein-coding genes is presented in 9 different resources including protein profiles in cells, tissues, organs and blood. The open access resource now includes more than 10 million manually annotated bioimages and data for over 6 billion assay measurements from 300,000 separate biological samples...Read more

Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that selectively facilitate the rapid, passive movement of specific ions across various cell membranes and play an important role in many of our organ systems. In the Human Protein Atlas, the voltage-gated ion channels are represented by more than 100 genes from nine different subcategories based on their selectivity and the ions they conduct...Read more

Recently, Sweden's leading business newspaper Dagens Industri published an in-depth interview with HPA Director, professor Mathias Uhlén, about the global race to build a virtual cell - a next frontier in biomedical AI. The article compares major global initiatives such as AlphaFold, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and China's Pi-HuB project, and highlights the Swedish effort Alpha Cell...Read more
