Current approaches to determine molecular signatures of health often rely on samples taken by venous blood draws at health care centers. In a study published in Communications medicine, researchers from KTH, Karolinska Institute, and the University of Gothenburg instead used a home sampling device to collect dried blood spots from the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic...Read more
