An international team has built an atlas of vascular aging, the Human Aging Endothelial Cell Atlas, by analyzing gene ...

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 ...

Mount Sinai researchers have published the first organ-wide human skin spatial atlas from across the body. It provides an unprecedentedly detailed view of healthy human skin, revealing cellular ...

A new international study led by scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has characterized the populations of fat cells in various fat tissues in the human body. Using innovative technology ...

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 ...

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 ...

Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

Researchers have created an early version of a map of some of the human body’s cells. The human body has an estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique job. Knowing each cell’s job ...
