Human cell

Human cells are the basic structural and functional units of the human body, encompassing a vast array of specialized types such as neurons, immune cells, epithelial cells, muscle cells, and more. They contain a nucleus housing chromosomes made of DNA, are surrounded by a plasma membrane composed of phospholipids, and include numerous organelles responsible for energy production, protein synthesis, and cellular maintenance[4][5]. The human body contains approximately 37 trillion cells[7]. Cellular diversity drives all physiological processes and diseases, but "human cell" does not refer to a specific molecule or therapeutic target.\n\nNote: The query term "Human cells" is unsuitable for structured mapping as a single drug target and is not used as such in pharmacology, cell biology, or drug development[7][4]. Information retrieval should focus on specific cell types (e.g., T lymphocyte, hepatocyte, neuron) or molecular targets (e.g., CD3 receptor, HER2 receptor) for actionable data.
