ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cellosaurus

Cellosaurus is like a big book with all the important information about the different types of cells that scientists use in their experiments. Just like how you have many friends with different names and personalities, scientists have many types of cells with different names and behaviors. Cellosaurus helps the scientists keep track of them all!

Cellosaurus has details about where each type of cell came from, what they look like, and how they behave in different conditions. Whenever scientists discover a new type of cell or learn more about an existing one, they add it to the cellosaurus book so everyone can learn and use it for their experiments.

Think of it like a giant dictionary for scientists that helps them understand and communicate with each other about these tiny little building blocks of life. Pretty cool, huh?!
