How do our genes determine our appearance and our susceptibility to disease? This question is central to biomedical research, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Aging does not arrive all at once. It builds quietly across years, touching cells long before symptoms appear. Scientists have spent decades studying diseases tied to aging. Now, many want to ...
