Abstract Synopsis

  • The study examines the relationship between cell size and cell count in humans, finding an inverse correlation that suggests a trade-off between these two variables.
  • A comprehensive dataset was compiled from 1500 sources, estimating total body cell counts at 36 trillion for males, 28 trillion for females, and 17 trillion for children.
  • The research establishes a framework for understanding cellular organization, revealing that cells within the same size class contribute equally to the body's total biomass and indicating regulation of cell size across different types.
