That means that some cells in the human body regenerate themselves much more quickly than others – and an average figure doesn’t provide that detail.

An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 researchers profiling more than 100 million cells.

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell.
