Transcription factor FOXJ1 (magenta) and chromatin regulator HMGN3 (green) display different nuclear staining in the fallopian tube. FOXJ1 stains a subset of the cells in the fallopian tube epithelium while HMGN3 shows a more general staining pattern. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-07-0…

A Nature study suggests ALDH18A1 and ferroptosis as a therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Inhibition of ALDH18A1 suppressed livercarcinogenesis through depletion of spermine (essential for cellular homeostasis) and activation of ferroptosis in HCC. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-07-0…

In this episode of Proteins Unfolded Evelina Sjöstedt, head of HPA Single cell analysis talks about the transcriptome in the context of the genome and proteome. She discusses her current research at The Human Protein Atlas and single cell transcriptomics. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-06-2…

In the Episode 82 of of the Proteomics show podcast series "Alt Proteomics" HPA researcher Dr Cecilia Lindskog talks about the importance of proteomics data integration together with the hosts Benjamin Neely and Ben Orsburn. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-06-1…

Glycolysis-associated enzyme PKLR highlighted in cytoplasm of proximal tubular cells (green) in the kidney using multiplex immunohistochemistry. Other kidney structures shown are Distal tubules (red), podocytes (yellow) and endothelial cells (magenta). proteinatlas.org/news/2026-06-1…

5/5 All data is integrated into @ProteinAtlas alongside matched RNA: proteinatlas.org/humanproteome/… Shout out to Mathias Uhlen, @CarolineWeiss30 & a wonderful Munich–Stockholm collaboration 🇩🇪🇸🇪

In version 25.1 of the Human Protein Atlas, a dataset based on Deep Visual Proteomics has been integrated in the Single Cell resource to provide mass-spectrometry based proteomics at an unprecedented resolution across cell types and tissues. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-05-2…

A study by HPA researchers in Nature Communications presents a high-resolution spatial map of proteins associated with motile cilia in the human fallopian tube, providing new insights into reproductive biology, infertility and cilia-related disease. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-05-2…

The Human Protein Atlas welcomes GeneTex’s recent announcement formalizing a collaborative relationship with the Human Protein Atlas. Collaborations with Atlas Antibodies, NCI-CPTC, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Absea Biotech are also acknowledged. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-05-1…

The differences in blood protein levels during childhood and early adulthood were recently explored in an article published in Nature Communications, which highlighted the importance of accounting for age and sex when analysing protein levels in children. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-05-0…

SON and SRRM2 are essential for forming nuclear speckles and in a study in Cell it was shown that their simultaneous depletion resulted in complete dissolution of speckles, disturbing 3D-genome organization and H3 isochore gene expression. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-04-2…

In a review article published in Pharmacological reviews the current knowledge regarding structure, function, opportunities for therapeutic targeting and distribution in tissues and cells of human and mammalian aGPCRs is summarised. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-04-2…

A mIHC/IF panel is used to identify proteins expressed at specific stages of spermatogenesis. BEND2 is shown in the nucleus of cell state 2 spermatocytes (green) together with state 3 spermatocytes (magenta) and early (white) and late (red) spermatids. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-04-1…

What would it look like to see all ~13,000 proteins inside a single human cell at once? We share ProtiCelli — a generative model that makes this possible. Besides benchmarking, we demonstrate utility in many tasks. Preprint: bit.ly/3NY175q A thread 🧵👇

In the episode 102 of the Proteomics show podcast series, "All the parts", neuroscientist at KI and HPA researcher Jan Mulder talks about different aspects of the brain and brain research together with the hosts Benjamin Neely and Ben Orsburn. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-04-0…

Easter celebration is very tightly linked to eggs and therefore we will take this opportunity to have a closer look at the zona pellucida proteins, some of the most important genes in the human oocyte. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-04-0…

Using mIHC/IF the adaptor protein SHC2 involved in cell signaling is shown in green in the cytoplasm of glucagon-producing alpha cells in the islets of Langerhans in pancreas . Other visualized cell types are beta cells (magenta) and delta cells (yellow). proteinatlas.org/news/2026-03-2…

At a recent high-level international meeting in Mexico City, 600 international delegated discussed trends in education, health and research. Mathias Uhlén shared a practical perspective on what universities must do as innovation cycles accelerate. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-03-1…

In a study in J.Proteome Res >180 proteins have been spatially mapped to specific subcellular compartments in cells with motile cilia using multiplex IHC. The high-resolution data aids in further functional mapping of proteins with limited evidence. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-03-1…

A study in Science demonstrate that STING acts as a molecular barrier to bird flu and that a single substitution in the viral M1 protein leads to human IAVs evading activation of human STING, demonstrating the significance of this antiviral barrier. proteinatlas.org/news/2026-03-0…
