researchers get an updated look at the Human Cell Atlas

Atlas of cells offers a milestone leap in understanding of the human body
An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 researchers profiling more than 100 million cells.
Scientists take huge step forward in mapping all 37 trillion cells in the human body
Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell.
Atlas of cells transforms understanding of human body
An ambitious plan to map all 37 trillion cells in the human body is transforming understanding of how our bodies work, scientists report. The received wisdom said we were built from around 200 types of cell – such as heart muscle or nerve cells.
Scientists announce progress toward ambitious atlas of human cells
Scientists unveiled on Wednesday the first blueprint of human skeletal development as they make progress toward the goal of completing a biological atlas of every cell type in the body to better understand human health and diagnose and treat disease.
A ‘Wikipedia for cells’: researchers get an updated look at the Human Cell Atlas, and it’s remarkable
Coming less than a decade after its launch, the studies emerging from the global project are a major achievement. Funders should sign up for the long haul.
Human Cell Atlas maps 100 million cells, unlocks mysteries in medical research
Scientists with the Human Cell Atlas have profiled 100 million cells from over 10,000 people worldwide, aiming to map the human body down to the cellular level.
Human Cell Atlas achieves leap in the understanding of the human body
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 publication on 20 November of a collection of more than 40 papers in Nature and other Nature Portfolio journals.
