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

The chemical exposome represents the sum of environmental chemical exposures throughout the life of an individual. These include exposure to chemicals from inhalation of polluted air, intake of dietary substances and pharmaceuticals, ingestion of contaminated food and water, but also to the metabolic products of gut microbiota. Chemical exposomes are readily measured in blood, but to conclusively link environmental exposures to disease etiology knowledge of their variability and longitudinal stability is required...Read more
