This mandala combines visualizations of cell types in the mouse brain. (Illustration via Allen Institute) Neuroscientists have unveiled their most comprehensive and detailed map of cell types across ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. " We know each of the proteins ...

As we go about our day, the trillions of cells in our bodies run like well-oiled machines: continually sensing what's happening around them and making modifications to keep us humming along. Like ...

For the first time ever, an international team of researchers has created a complete cell atlas of a whole mammalian brain. This atlas serves as a map for the mouse brain, describing the type, ...

A comprehensive map has been built of cell types in a mammalian brain using spatial and single-cell genomics. The atlas delineates several thousand cell populations across the entire mouse brain, ...

Scientists from around the world are making headway in compiling a Human Cell Atlas -- a deep dive into the myriad types of cells in the body and their disparate roles in health and disease. The atlas ...

An estimated 86 billion neurons in the average human brain govern our body’s functions and conjure — somehow — the human mind. C. elegans has 302 neurons in one sex and a few more in the other.

Like workers at a factory or office, proteins in a cell must be in the right department to do their jobs. But scientists have yet to fully map the cell’s organization, much less determine how these ...
