Researchers have created a detailed 3D cellular atlas of human head embryogenesis, using advanced imaging techniques. This atlas includes intricate details of tissues and cell types such as muscles, nerves, and glands. Key discoveries include the unique development patterns of salivary glands and their interindividual variability. This study not only enhances our understanding of human embryology but also provides new insights into craniofacial anomalies and neurological conditions. Supporting these findings, the web interface Hudeca.com offers interactive tools to explore and learn about human embryology.
