Scientists have identified no less than 16 distinct types of nerve cells in the human dorsal root ganglion (DRG), significantly expanding our understanding of how the human nervous system operates.

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.

Scientists say they captured 3D images of a new organelle they're calling a "hemifusome," which may be a recycling center in ...

The current cell map not only charts the many types of human cells, but it also shows the relationships of cells to each other, said Dr. Timothy Chan, a cancer expert at the Cleveland Clinic.

Instead the Human Cell Atlas project has revealed there are thousands of cell types, with some appearing to be culprits in diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and cystic fibrosis.

It's a surprisingly hard question to answer, but Dr Karl has tracked down a reasonable estimate of the number of cells in the human body.

Scientists report that the ambitious plan to map all 37 trillion cells in the human body is transforming understanding of how our bodies work.
