Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP)

an NIH-funded consortium of scientists developing an open, global framework for comprehensively mapping the human body at a cellular resolution.

#lipidtime: It's a lipid universe. Today in Nature we publish the Lipid Brain Atlas, the first map of membrane lipid composition across the entire mouse brain, a layer of organisation that cell-type and transcript maps had left out. #lipidomics #neuroscience #BrainAtlas

Not to be vein, but from the apex of our hearts, we think this Xenium image of the right ventricle from Chenchen Zhu in Mike Snyder's lab @Stanford will ventricle your fancy!

DYK that lymph nodes fight infection by housing white blood cells that destroy bacteria&viruses? This nodeworthy CODEX image of a lymph node TMA was made by Negin Farzad in Rong Fan’s lab at @Yale. Much like a lymph node that just spotted a foreign body we’re swelling with pride

Xenium technology shows researchers where specific RNAs reside in an organ, giving them an idea about how the RNAs relate to each other in the space of the organ. It’s spleen-tastic!

I spleen, you spleen, we all spleen for this spleen-did Xenium image of a human spleen, the organ that filters blood, produces immune cells, and helps your body fight infections made by HuBMAP researchers Drs. Gloria Pryhuber (URMC) and Chenchen Zhu (Stanford).

The pandemonium of daily life has you insulinely tired? Then pan a shot over to this Xenium image of the thousands of RNAs that reside within the body of the pancreas, made by HuBMAP researcher Chenchen Zhu from @Stanford, who is nothing if not pancreas-ionate about his work!

Once again, the certified #_HuBMAP air-tists/researchers in Dr. Gloria Pryhuber's lab at @UR_Med hope to take your breath away with this multimodal image of airway epithelium, submucosal gland, and duct from the lung. We hope it respires you to live lung and prosper.

Does this CODEX image of an ovary send you ova the moon? This egg-citing image was made by NIH funded #_HuBMAP scientists @UPenn & @LurieChildren's, using antibodies specific to cell types found in the ovary to show the spatial relationships within. Ova it? Never!!!!

Not to be an ovary-achiever, but this CODEX image of oocytes in a healthy human ovary made by scientists at @UPenn & @LurieChildren’s is egg-straordinary! Images like this prove researchers aren’t just follicle-ing around! 😉

[Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) @_hubmap]

Green – oocytes, Pink – extracellular matrix, Cyan – vessels, Blue and Yellow – epithelial cells

Do you have the intestinal fortitude to check out your viscera? Then follow your gut instincts and digest this CODEX image of a healthy colon from John Hickey when he was at the of the Nolan Lab Stanford. We hope it bowels you over as much as us!

[Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) @_hubmap]

Red - podocytes, green - endothelial cells, yellow - smooth muscle cels and arterioles, cyan - thick ascending limb tubules, blue - proximal tubules, brown - distal convoluted tubules

Pi day just passed, so you know what that means! It's time for a slice of kidney pi(e), and that's a renal treat! This CODEX image of a kidney pi slice was made by #hubmap researchers Drs. Tarek Ashkar & Sanjay Jain @wustl, and we're not being irrational!
