cell cultures

Cell cultures are laboratory techniques used to grow and study cells in a controlled environment outside their natural setting, such as a living organism. Scientists place cells in special dishes or flasks with nutrient-rich solutions that help them thrive. This process allows researchers to examine cellular functions, test drugs, and explore disease mechanisms safely and effectively. Cell cultures are crucial in biomedical research, helping in vaccine development, cancer research, and understanding how cells respond to various treatments, ultimately contributing to advancements in medicine and healthcare.
