Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body's estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

The human body contains an astonishing 36 to 37 trillion cells, each serving unique functions across organs and systems. In a groundbreaking initiative, the Human Cell Atlas (HCA), an international ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. " We know each of the proteins ...

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 ...

Established in 2016, the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium set out to create a comprehensive biological map of cells within the human body. Now progressing into a data integration phase, the HCA is ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...
