Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz crowned the horse Emblem Road, owned by Prince Saud bin Salman, with the title of the 2022 Saudi Cup, in a large equestrian event that took place Saturday at the King Abdulaziz Equestrian Square in Riyadh.

Last year’s edition of the Saudi Cup was also won by a Saudi racehorse called Mishriff.

The crown prince congratulated Prince Saud bin Salman, owner of winning horse Emblem Road, as he lifted the Saudi Cup and was crowned winner of the race.

He also congratulated the horse's trainers Miteb Al-Mallouh, Al-Khayal, and Giberto Ramos.

The Saudi Cup is the largest and most expensive race in the world, with prizes worth about $35 million.

The most prominent horses, trainers and riders in the world participated in the annual event which included major races and preliminary and final competitions on grass and dirt tracks amid global follow-up and a large presence of fans of various nationalities.

240 horses participated in all runs, and 16 horses from several countries participated in the Saudi Cup run, which is classified in the first category.

A large number of horses from abroad also participated, led by 13 from each of the UK and the UAE, 12 from Japan, 11 from France, 9 from the US, 6 from Qatar, 5 from Ireland and Bahrain, 2 from Argentina and Spain, and 1 from Germany and Greece.

The Saudi Cup competitions were accompanied by several other cultural events that are inherently related to the customs and traditions inherited historically in the Kingdom.

The Saudi Culture Ministry participated at the event by organizing the Saudi Coffee Pavilion to showcase diversity associated with coffee in the Kingdom.

Prince Bandar bin Khalid Al-Faisal and Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal participated in the folklore shows accompanying the tournament.

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body's estimated 37.2 trillion cells.

Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better understand health and diseases such as cancer.

Scientists focused on certain organs — plotting the jobs of cells in the mouth, stomach and intestines, as well as cells that guide how bones and joints develop. They also explored which cells group into tissues, where they're located in the body and how they change over time.

They hope the high-resolution, open-access atlas — considered a first draft — will help researchers fight diseases that damage or corrupt human cells.

“When things go wrong, they go wrong with our cells first and foremost," said Aviv Regev, co-chair of the Human Cell Atlas consortium who was involved with the research.

The findings were published Wednesday in Nature and related journals.

The group plans to release a more complete atlas in 2026, profiling cells across 18 organs and body systems. That includes the skin, heart, breasts and more.

The current cell map not only charts the many types of human cells, but it also shows the relationships of cells to each other, said Dr. Timothy Chan, a cancer expert at the Cleveland Clinic.

Chan said it's a deep dive into human biology that's sure to have practical impact such as identifying and treating cancer cells.

“Different types of cells have different Achilles’ heels,” said Chan, who was not involved in the studies. “This is going to be a boon" for cancer research.

Scientists are also creating other atlases that could help them learn more about the underpinnings of health and disease in specific parts of the body.

With brain atlases, they’re seeking to understand the structure, location and function of the many types of brain cells. A new gut microbiome atlas looks at the collection of microorganisms in the intestines, which plays a key role in digestion and immune system health.
