HEK293 cells

HEK293 cells are a type of human cell line commonly used in scientific research and biotechnology. They originate from human embryonic kidney cells that were modified to grow easily in the lab. These cells are important because they can quickly produce proteins, viruses, or other biological materials, making them valuable for medical research, vaccine development, and gene therapy. Their ability to be cultured and manipulated in laboratory settings helps scientists study human biology and develop new treatments efficiently.
