Scientists build largest-ever cellular family tree for a mammal
Original: From a single cell to 1.2 million: Scientists successfully create the largest cellular “family tree” for a mammal
Researchers have traced the development of a mammal from a single cell to 1.2 million cells, producing the largest cellular family tree ever made for a mammal. By tracking cell lineages, the work maps how one fertilised cell gives rise to millions of specialised descendants, offering an unprecedented view of how organs and tissues form during development and opening new avenues for studying growth, ageing and disease.
Why now: The scale and technical achievement of tracing 1.2 million cells is a major milestone in developmental biology.
