More than half of your body is not human, say scientists. Human cells make up only 43% of the body's total cell count. The rest are microscopic colonists. Understanding this hidden half of ...

HD is a rare, adult-onset ... researchers used a series of mouse cell lines, called human-mouse somatic cell hybrids, which were engineered to contain a known subset of human chromosomes.

A collection of over forty new studies about the Human Cell Atlas has now been published. This work encompasses the efforts ...

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell. The human body contains around 36 trillion to 37 trillion cells ...

Scientists unveiled on Wednesday the first blueprint of human skeletal development as they make progress toward the goal of ...

A “major milestone” has been reached in the goal of mapping all the cells in the human body, researchers say. It is hoped that charting the types and properties of all human cells – to build ...
