Contrary to long-standing assumptions, human egg cells stay pristine for decades not by ramping up waste disposal, but by ...

The Human Cell Atlas has received less attention than the $3 billion Human Genome Project, which was completed in 2003 after 15 years of work. But it's equally ambitious.

We’re closer than ever to mapping the entire brain to the microscopic level. Hundreds of neuroscientists across the world recently characterized more than 3,000 human brain cell types as part of ...

After centuries of mapping the human body in ever-finer detail, scientists are still making discoveries. Here we are, in 2025 ...

Human 8C-like cells among naïve embryonic stem cells (left) and 8-cell human embryos (right) fluorescently labelled for TPRX1 (green), H3.Y (red) and DNA (blue).

Based on the co-localization of the pair of different coloured QD-labelled TALEs, we determine and map single-copy HIV-1 provirus loci in human chromosomes in live host cells.

Regev compared scientific knowledge of cell biology before the Human Cell Atlas initiative with a “15 th century map.” “Now, years later, the resolution of the map is a lot higher,” she said.
