Mapping the musculoskeletal system one cell at a time

Nature Reviews Rheumatology volume 17, pages 247–248 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

The Human Cell Atlas (HCA) project aims to map tissues and organs during development, maturation and pathology at single cell resolution. The musculoskeletal HCA network is a community for fostering collaboration and shared expertise to help develop the therapeutic approaches needed to address the high global burden of musculoskeletal disorders.
