Cells (as in cell culture studies)

Cells in cell culture studies are tiny, living units taken from plants, animals, or humans and grown in controlled laboratory environments. Scientists use these cells to study biological processes, test medicines, or understand diseases without working directly on the whole organism. In culture, cells are kept alive and healthy in nutrient-rich solutions that mimic natural conditions, allowing researchers to observe their behavior, responses, and interactions in a controlled setting. This method provides valuable insights into cellular functions and facilitates advancements in medical research and drug development.
