The Human Cell Atlas (HCA) aims to build a detailed digital map of all human cells, enabling accurate diagnoses and personalized treatments through advanced genomic techniques.
With over 100 million cells analyzed from around 10,000 individuals, the HCA ensures a broad representation of human diversity, greatly enhancing its scientific relevance and application.
The HCA, now one of the largest scientific collaborations, surpasses even the Human Genome Project, highlighting the global commitment to understanding human cell biology.
As explained by Sarah Teichmann, the HCA is envisioned as a 'Google Maps of cells', offering intricate, navigable spatial maps of cellular functions and interactions.
