An extensive listing of human cell types was published by Vickaryous and Hall in 2006, collecting 411 different types of human cells (with 145 types of neuron among those). [11] The Human Cell Atlas project, which started in 2016, had as one of its goals to "catalog all cell types (for example, immune cells or brain cells) and sub-types in the ...
The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life. Every cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane; many cells contain organelles, each with a specific function. The term comes from the Latin word cellula meaning 'small room'. Most cells are only visible under a microscope.
Regev compared scientific knowledge of cell biology before the Human Cell Atlas initiative with a “15 th century map.” “Now, years later, the resolution of the map is a lot higher,” she said.
The Human Cell Atlas is a global project to describe all cell types in the human body. [1] The initiative was announced by a consortium after its inaugural meeting in London in October 2016, which established the first phase of the project. [2][3] Aviv Regev and Sarah Teichmann defined the goals of the project at that meeting, [4] which was ...

The human body is composed of elements including hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, calcium and phosphorus. These elements reside in trillions of cells and non-cellular components of the body. The adult male body is about 60% total body water content of some 42 litres (9.2 imp gal; 11 US gal).
Elements. The main elements that comprise the human body (including water) can be summarized as CHNOPS. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium.
Immunofluorescence of HeLa cells showing microtubules in green, mitochondria in yellow, nucleoli in red and nuclear DNA in purple. HeLa (/ ˈhiːlɑː /) is an immortalized cell line used in scientific research. It is the oldest human cell line and one of the most commonly used. [1][2] HeLa cells are durable and prolific, allowing for extensive ...
