Each human is a finely tuned orchestra of more than 37 trillion cells. Mapping this little-known world is one of biology’s greatest challenges — and one in which scientists say they just made a ...

A collection of over forty new studies about the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) has now been published in Nature. This work encompasses the efforts of more than 3,600 HCA members from over one hundred ...

This article explores how single-cell multiomics and spatial transcriptomics are illuminating early pregnancy, uncovering ...

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 ...

Scientists report that the ambitious plan to map all 37 trillion cells in the human body is transforming understanding of how our bodies work. The received wisdom said we were built from around 200 ...

Understanding how cells transform into specialized types during human development is a central challenge in biology. This complex process, known as cell differentiation, holds the key to understanding ...

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts. Are we born with a pre-configured brain, or do thought patterns only begin to emerge in response to our sensory experiences of the ...

Scientists have unveiled the first draft of the Human Cell Atlas, a project aiming to map every cell type in the human body to enhance the understanding of health and disease. It could eventually be ...

A newly revealed molecular tug-of-war may have implications for better understanding how a multitude of diseases and ...
