Atlas of cells offers a milestone leap in understanding of the human body
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.
Human Cell Atlas hopes to be 'Google Maps' for health research
Scientists from around the world are making headway in compiling a Human Cell Atlas -- a deep dive into the myriad types of cells in the body and their disparate roles in health and disease.
Atlas of cells transforms understanding of human body
Another example of the Human Cell Atlas in action came during the Covid pandemic when the detailed maps of the body allowed scientists to anticipate how the virus would move from tissue to tissue and identified the nose, mouth and eyes as key entry points to the body.
Scientists Create First Draft of Human 'Cell Atlas' for Disease Research
New advances allow scientists to study DNA, RNA, and gene activity in individual cells rather than in bulk tissue samples.
Mapping human biology: Human Cell Atlas leads a new era in precision medicine
The Human Cell Atlas project maps human cells to understand biology, address global health disparities, and advance personalized medicine through ethical and inclusive research practices.
Human Cell Atlas achieves leap in the understanding of the human body
Researchers with the global Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium report significant progress in their quest for a better understanding of the cells of the human body in health and disease, with the publication on 20 November of a collection of more than 40 papers in Nature and other Nature Portfolio journals.
