Two ways to read a genome: Body-wide, single-cell atlas maps DNA folding and methylation together
Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells ...

Single-cell atlases of the human body may not fairly represent global populations as AI use grows
The single-cell "atlases" that are increasingly used to map the human body and as training data for artificial intelligence ...
The NIH 4D Nucleome consortium, of which this study is a part, aims to extend this kind of mapping into the fourth dimension: ...

Your body is built from roughly 37 trillion cells, and nearly every one carries the same DNA
Every person walking the planet carries roughly 37 trillion cells, and nearly every one of those cells holds an identical copy of that individual’s DNA. That number, once loosely pegged at 10 trillion ...
Mount Sinai researchers have published the first organ-wide human skin spatial atlas from across the body. It provides an unprecedentedly detailed view of healthy human skin, revealing cellular ...
Collagen, the protein that builds skin, bones, tendons and organs, exists inside cells as a liquidlike droplet rather than the long, rigid rod seen in textbooks over the last half-century, according ...
Immune cells protect and heal the human body. In medicine, they are specifically activated through biochemical reactions to treat certain diseases. Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, ETH ...
