Biochemistry Through the Language Barrier.

 

Biochemistry’ Throught the Language Barrier is a blog post about the twenty (20) categories in the Human Cell Atlas’. The categories are lens (L), pigment (P), germinal (G), nurse (N), autonomic (A), wet (W), CNS (Z),  ciliated (Q), metabolic (V), barrier (B), urogenital (U), contractile (C), keratin (K),  sensory (S­), matrix (M), transducer (T), epithelial (E), immune (I), exocrine (X), hormone (H).
