The latest news from the Human Protein Atlas.https://www.proteinatlas.org/newsMitochondria are well known as the energy factories of human cells, but their roles extend well beyond ATP production, with multiple links to other cellular functions continuously being discovered. As can be seen in the subcellular resource of the HPA, the positioning of mitochondria within cells is variable, both between cell types and from cell-to-cell. This arrangement is not random, but rather regulated and highly dynamic. In fact, their proximity and direct interactions with other organelles can regulate cellular processes in these compartments.https://www.proteinatlas.org/news/2026-07-22/mitochondria-go-where-they-are-neededWed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00In this edition of multiplex tissue image of the month, the expression pattern of ciliogenesis-activating transcription factor FOXJ1 is contrasted with chromatin-regulating protein HMGN3 in fallopian tube.https://www.proteinatlas.org/news/2026-07-08/multiplex-tissue-image-of-the-month-foxj1-and-hmgn3-in-fallopian-tubeWed, 8 Jul 2026 00:00:00In a recent study published in Nature it was discovered that the polyamine spermine acts as a chelator of intracellular iron and thus as a suppressor of ferroptosis. Spermine is a polyamine metabolite that is essential for cellular homeostasis, with known roles ranging from DNA stabilization and RNA processing to protein synthesis and ion channel regulation. Dysregulation of spermine metabolism is implicated in various malignant, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases.https://www.proteinatlas.org/news/2026-07-02/aldh18a1-and-ferroptosis-as-a-therapeutic-target-for-cancer-treatmentThu, 2 Jul 2026 00:00:00In this episode of Proteins Unfolded Evelina Sjöstedt, head of Single cell analysis at the Human Protein Atlas, joins the hosts PhD students Andrea Villanueva Raisman and Emilio Skarwan to explore the transcriptome, the bridge between our static DNA and active proteins.https://www.proteinatlas.org/news/2026-06-25/talking-transcriptomicsThu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00In 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.https://www.proteinatlas.org/news/2026-06-18/the-proteomics-show-with-cecilia-lindskogThu, 18 Jun 2026 00:00:00
