A recent study published in Nature Communications has unveiled a complex landscape of autoantibodies emerging after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Researchers investigated the development of autoantibodies in a large cohort of healthcare workers and hospitalized COVID-19 patients, tracking their emergence and persistence over a 16-month period...Read more

Current approaches to determine molecular signatures of health often rely on samples taken by venous blood draws at health care centers. In a study published in Communications medicine, researchers from KTH, Karolinska Institute, and the University of Gothenburg instead used a home sampling device to collect dried blood spots from the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic...Read more

In a recent publication in Nature Communication the incidence and protective factors of SARS-CoV-2 omicron infection in triple vaccinated healthcare workers were investigated...Read more

Researchers within HPA have demonstrated the usefulness of "next generation plasma protein profiling" to identify molecular signatures of importance for disease progression and to allow monitoring of disease during recovery from COVID-19. The results will facilitate further studies to understand the molecular mechanism of the immune-related response of the SARS-CoV-2 virus...Read more

The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) consortium is committed to aid in the fight against the health consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic...Read more
