| What are the implications of the Cell Atlas |
In the last decades humanity
witnessed such a great breakthrough in the technological field, which helped to
develop many other fields, most important field was the medical one, as doctors
used the new inventions in their medical experiences and researches, and
managed by using them to get to many new medical innovations that succeeded to
help saving so many lives, one of these new innovations that doctors seek to
achieve is to know everything surrounds the human cells; such as: their functions
in the human body and their types, this is the aim of an association called “The
cell Atlas”, and in the few lines to come we’ll identify “The cell Atlas”, and
clarify how it works, and What are the implications of “The cell Atlas”.
What’s the Cell Atlas?
We could identify the Cell Atlas as the organization
which helps us to study each cell in the human body alone, and get the
information that we need, these information includes: the place where this cell
is, the function of this particular cell in the human body, the type of this
cell, and by studying every cell in the human body-which is around 37.2 billion
cell, we can take a huge step in the human’s biological history.
“The cell
Atlas” idea was mentioned for the first time on 13th of October
2016, as doctors needed more information about the cells in the human body, as
we knew too little about them and their part in the human diseases.
What are the implications of the Cell Atlas?
The Cell Atlas helps us in so many areas such as:
· The Immune system
Studies are directed to know more about the immune
cells that are spread in the entire
human body, these immune cells represents the first wall of defense against the
diseases that infect the human body, and by knowing the characteristics of
these cells, we can develop new medicines which help to increase the number of
these cells, or the efficiency of each cell in the immune system, which would
help to defeat the incurable diseases.
· Brain cells
Studying these cells help us to know the real
limitations of the human brain, and whether or not we use our brains to this
limit, and how to pass these limits if it’s possible to be achieved.
· Cancer cells
Cancer itself consists of so many cells, and
studying these cancer cells will help us to know more about the deadly disease,
and the best way to defeat it; especially it takes so many lives each year.
What are the obstacles that the Cell Atlas faces?
The Cell Atlas organization requires so much money
yearly to achieve its target to know the properties of each cell in the human body,
and this could be achieved only by devoting so many hours in researches, this requires
employing many doctors and researchers to make this huge map. So, we could say
that this organization needs support in both sides; the financial side and the volunteering
side.
