How many cells does a human organism consist of? Given the importance of cell numbers in defining the structure and the function of an organism, the authors thought the answer to this question would be easy to find. However this was not the case. In the scientific literature the number of...

Reported values in the literature on the number of cells in the body differ by orders of magnitude and are very seldom supported by any measurements or calculations. Here, we integrate the most up-to-date information on the number of human and bacterial cells in the body. We estimate the ...
Somatic cells are body cells, such as skin, muscle, or endothelial cells. Germ cells are sex cells, like sperm and eggs. Somatic cells in the human body are all diploid and have 46 chromosomes, whereas gametes are haploid and have 23 chromosomes....
portion of the human body in terms of the number of cells having several essential roles to play, both directly and indirectly, starting from digestion and the immune system to the growing evidence of influencing neuronal function, aging, and carcinogenesis has been ignored. We would like to ...
Since 2014, Joshu a Chou has en investigating how microgravity alfects medicine and cells in the human body. Early next year, be and his researeh team will be traveling to the ISS(International Space Station) to test a new method of treating cancer that relies on microgravity.According to ...
Instead, they are made up of an interconnectednetwork of nerve cells that allows them to sense their environment The reason why jellyfish havesurvived so long is that they are incredibly adaptable and can easily cope with variations in temperatureor acidity in the water, while their predators, ...

The proteins CD47 and SIRPα are fundamental to establishing a correct number of immune cells, so-called B lymphocytes. This according to a dissertation by Shrikant Shanital Kolan from Umeå University in Sweden.
