The Human Cell Atlas project has revealed that there are thousands of cell types, some of which contribute to diseases like inflammatory bowel disease and cystic fibrosis.
This initiative is akin to moving from basic 15th Century maps to modern interactive Google maps, providing a high-resolution view of the human body.
Dr. Aviv Regev stated, 'Cells are the basic unit of life; if things go wrong, they go wrong with our cells,' highlighting the project's significance in understanding disease.
Dr. Sarah Teichmann described the project as a major milestone, emphasizing the comprehensive mapping of over 100 million cells from 10,000 people globally.
