Cilia and flagella are fascinating organelles that can be seen as thin membrane-bound projections extending from the body of various cell types. Most well-known are the flagella of sperm cells and the motile cilia that are present in epithelial cells of the lungs and fallopian tubes, as well as ependymal cells of the brain ventricles. These types of cilia mediate movement. However, there is a third type of cilia, which are non-motile and present in most human cell types, referred to as primary cilia...Read more

In an Olink-sponsored Labroots webinar Professor Mathias Uhlen will describe a novel strategy based on plasma profiling and machine learning that explores the proteome signatures of 12 major cancer types and then uses the information to identify all the individual cancer types as a first step towards new diagnostic tools for cancer...Read more

In a webinar hosted by Akoya Biosciences Dr Cecilia Lindskog will introduce the audience to the current multiomics workflow of the Human Protein Atlas and the recent efforts to introduce machine learning with the aim to create a detailed spatio-temporal map of the human proteome at the single cell type level...Read more

A review of some of the latest developments within the HPA was recently published in the journal Protein Science, summarizing new data and features of the website, as well as describing the recent advances in the ongoing move into using multiple large datasets and computational analytical tools to decipher the human proteome at the single cell level...Read more

Sweden has been placed first in the European Commission's Innovation ranking during the last years, and also ranks top three in the Global Innovation Index based on parameters such as degree of knowledge, technology outputs and human capital. Sweden further performs remarkably well in terms of innovation start-ups. In a recent book, "Innovation - the Swedish way" published by the Royal Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA), the authors Henrik Berggren and Eva Krutmeijer explore the structures that created this beneficial innovation climate and describe 50 innovations from Sweden that "has changed the world"...Read more
