On 2021, Stephen Quake guessed that the upper limit of the number of human cell types would be around 6000, based on a reasoning that "if biologists had discovered only 5% of cell types in the human body, then the upper limit of cell types to discover is somewhere around 6000 (i.e., 300/0.05)."

Counting the total number of cells is of course laborious. In a clinical setting, and where the intention is only to compare observations rather than to state an index, informal alternatives may be used: for example "12 mitotic figures are noted per 10 high power [microscopic] fields" in contrast with "4 mitotic figures noted per 50 high power ...
The second list shows the number of neurons in the structure that has been found to be representative of animal intelligence. [1] The human brain contains 86 billion neurons, with 16 billion neurons in the cerebral cortex .
Ki-67 is a nuclear antigen expressed in proliferating cells that is coded by the MKI67 gene on chromosome 10, and is expressed during the GI, S, G2, and M phases of the cell cycle. Cells are then stained with a Ki-67 antibody, and the number of stained nuclei is then expressed as a percentage of total tumor cells.

A higher value of 0.94-0.95 has also been found to produce good yield of competent cells, but this can be impractical when cell growth is rapid. [ 12 ] Presence of antibiotics – The presence of antibiotics can increase the efficiency of transformation by inhibiting the growth of non-transformed cells and selecting for transformed cells that ...
The cell concentration needs to be known for many experiments in molecular biology, in order to adjust accordingly the amount of reagents and chemicals that are to be applied in the experiment. Studies that examine the growth rate of microorganisms (in other words, how fast they divide to create new cells) require cell counting.
