CCTV News: On March 25, the "14th Five-Year Plan" major scientific and technological infrastructure - the large scientific research facility for the human cell lineage - officially started construction on Guangzhou International Biological Island. After the installation is completed, it is expected to digitally portray the dynamic evolution process of every cell in the human body throughout the life cycle, explore the mysteries of life, and create a "national important weapon" for studying human development, diseases, and aging.
Cells are the basic unit of life. The human body is composed of about 40 trillion cells. These cells start from the fertilized egg and undergo a dynamic evolution process throughout the life cycle from proliferation, differentiation and aging. The construction cycle of the large scientific research facility for the human cell lineage is 4.5 years, and it will be built into an advanced large scientific device that deeply analyzes the changes in human cells and then reconstructs and understands the life course. The facility integrates cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence to create a big model of digital cell AI, just like writing a detailed "cell family tree" for life, which will help clearly track the "past and present" of each cell in the future.
