An ambitious plan to map all 37 trillion cells in the human body is transforming understanding of how our bodies work, scientists report.

They introduced an iodine-reducing agent to inhibit the chemical reactions that cause the cells to degrade over time.

Using mice, the researchers pinpointed a group of brain cells in the frontal cortex that connects to the brainstem, where vital actions like breathing are controlled.

With this, researchers hope to find what factors are involved in sEV release from host cells.

This means that cell density is a broadly applicable tool for guiding both engineered and naturally occurring cells to build a vast array of structures, tissues, and organs.
