The 37 trillion cells of the human body exhibit a remarkable array of specialized functions and must cooperate and collaborate in time and space to construct a functioning human. By harnessing cutting ...

Regev compared scientific knowledge of cell biology before the Human Cell Atlas initiative with a “15 th century map.” “Now, years later, the resolution of the map is a lot higher,” she said.

Cell lines alone aren’t going to work. Most traditional biological research has been based on cell lines—cells removed from the human body and grown in petri dishes.

In a Q&A with STAT, geneticist Chris Mason talks about a new space atlas, creating a baseline for human health in space, and his thoughts on the “second Space Age.” ...

If you used their density to estimate the cells in a human body, you’d come to a staggering 724 trillion cells. Skin cells, on the other hand, are so sparse that they’d give you a paltry ...

An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 researchers profiling more than 100 million cells.
