News ArticlesA gene expression map based on integration of single cell and bulk transcriptomicsIn a publication in Genome Biology, HPA related researchers present an integrated resource that maps gene expression across the human body using both single cell and bulk RNA sequencing data. The study covers 31 tissues and identifies over 557 distinct cell clusters, each annotated and validated using known marker genes and antibody-based profiling...Read more Multiplex tissue image of the month - L1CAM in kidneySpecific expression of L1 cell adhesion molecule (gene: L1CAM) in collecting duct cells in the kidney is highlighted with multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC/IF)...Read more An important role for actin in unconventional mitosisMitosis is the fundamental process by which genetic information is passed from a parental cell to two daughter cells. The crucial role of the microtubule cytoskeleton and the centrosomes in this process is well known, and still early mouse embryo lack centrosomes. In a study published in Cell researches have found an explanation to this paradox...Read more Mathias Uhlén interviewed by Dagens Industri on the race to build a virtual cellRecently, 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 The cell cycle dependent proteomeThe cell cycle is fundamental for life, enabling organisms to grow, heal, reproduce, and maintain cellular function. In the subcellular resource of the Human Protein Atlas protein imaging and single cell RNAseq analysis have been used to explore cell-to-cell variability and the cell cycle dependent proteome...Read more |
