    In 2000, the photos were rescanned at a higher resolution, yielding more than 65 gigabytes. The female cadaver was cut into slices at 0.33-millimeter intervals, resulting in some 40 gigabytes of data. The term "cut" is a bit of a misnomer, yet it is used to describe the process of grinding away the top surface of a specimen at regular intervals ...

    The implications of CASI extend to human health, especially in relation to sex-specific diseases. While hormonal influences have long been studied in diseases such as cancer (e.g., prostate cancer, ovarian cancer), CASI suggests that the cellular sex identity may also contribute to disease susceptibility and progression.
