Genetic studies have revealed many genes linked to both common and rare disease, but to understand how those genes bring about disease and use those insights to help develop therapies, scientists need ...

The scope of human cell type atlases widened considerably today. Formerly, landscapes of individual cell types were largely confined to single organs. But now, thanks to four single-cell RNA ...

In a study published in the US journal Science Advances, a single cell type map of human tissues is presented. An open access atlas has been launched with more than 250,000 interactive plots to allow ...

In a recent article published in the Science journal, researchers demonstrated tissue-specific immune cell characteristics in humans by performing cross-tissue immune cell evaluation. Study: ...

Scientists have learned a lot about individual genes, especially those that are connected to human disease. And while we know a bit about gene networks and biochemical pathways, it's difficult to step ...

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 ...
