Scientists are proposing the creation of “bodyoids” — lab-grown human bodies — to help solve critical medical challenges facing society today. These structures could potentially transform how we ...

Opinion Ethically sourced “spare” human bodies could revolutionize medicine Human “bodyoids” could reduce animal testing, improve drug development, and alleviate organ shortages.

But we’ve learned quite a lot of fascinating things about the human body this year, too, in relation to topics ranging from eye and uterus transplants to vitamin D levels and aging.

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.

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body’s estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell.

Cellular atlases are unlocking the mysteries of the human body The Human Cell Atlas is yielding detailed maps of human tissues and systems throughout life, along with methods to handle single-cell ...
