Human Cell Atlas Maps 37 Trillion Cells, Revolutionizes Healthcare
Nov 20, 2024, 04:35 PM
A groundbreaking initiative known as the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) has made significant strides in mapping every cell in the human body. Over 3,600 scientists from around 100 countries have contributed to this ambitious project, which has been likened to creating a 'Google Maps' for biology. The HCA has released a collection of over 40 peer-reviewed papers across Nature Portfolio journals, detailing the development of the human skeleton, the functions of various cells, and providing insights into both healthy and diseased states. This effort aims to revolutionize healthcare by offering a comprehensive understanding of human biology at the cellular level, with the human body comprising approximately 37 trillion cells.
