The Human Cell Atlas is a project that has 3000 researchers in over 94 countries working to collect samples of every single cell in the human body.
The idea is that an interactive map of the body will be created. It will be a reference for what every kind of normal human cell should look like. But that will also vary depending on who you are and where you live.
It will give doctors a tool to measure illness and disease and make diagnosis and treatment much quicker.
The database will enable any doctor, anywhere in the world, with the right kind of interface, to access the information.
It could be ground-breaking for the treatment of disease and the democratisation of healthcare.
