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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Eight years on from the formation of the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium, which set out with the hugely ambitious task of mapping the entire human body – around 37.2 trillion cells – scientists ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...
