Progress in Research of Digital Human in China

Human body is a large complex system which is composed a hundred trillion cells. Even though science and technology at 21st century are developing very fast, the human being knows himself very limited. Digital human project aims at building whole human body datasets, from nano to macro, including cells, DNA, tissue, organs and the system. The information may be anatomical, physical and functional, depending on the stage of the development of the database.
