NIH Human Cell Atlas Program

The NIH Human Cell Atlas Program aims to create a comprehensive map of all human cells, detailing their types, functions, and how they interact. This extensive reference helps scientists understand healthy tissues and how diseases develop. By cataloging cells across different organs and individuals, the project supports advances in personalized medicine, drug development, and disease diagnosis. Think of it as a detailed cellular blueprint of the human body, enabling more precise and effective healthcare solutions for a wide range of medical conditions.
