    Wonder if this Human Cell Atlas could help us, given that it's mapping unknown stuff...

    This is marketing rather than science, @Sasha. Any grown up scientist has known since student days that 'cell types' are just convenient rough groupings. Every cell is different in one way or another. Every brain cell has a different structure and function. People write this sort of stuff to sound clever and get awarded money for their research by others who play the same game. `we learn more gradually but there is no sudden new knowledge created by naming a new 'Project'.
