Searching for Cell Type Database -- Similar to GeneCards

Hey,

I'm searching for database that has information on cells, particularly about aliases, organs it is found in, species, etc. Something VERYYYY similar to GeneCards database. For example: https://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=UPK2&keywords=UPK2

This will help tremendously with my research.

Not clear if you are simply looking for a physiological database of organs/cell types but you can take a look at Cellmarker (LINK).

You can also take a look at Allen Brain Atlas database (LINK). There are databases of single cell expression signature like Pangalo (LINK)

Hello, thank you for the SC databases, however I'm already using these currently and they aren't exactly what I'm looking for. After doing some search on my own, I found these:

I haven't fully vetted them but they are essentially what I am looking for: ontologies (or encyclopedias) about a cell type that I am interested in.
