Atlas of cells offers a milestone leap in understanding of the human body | CNN
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.
This technology, combined with powerful computing and artificial intelligence methods, allows researchers to create an ID card for each cell type. The consortium is building maps of 18 biological networks, the most complex of which is the brain, and the first complete draft of the Human Cell Atlas will be published in 2026, Regev said.
