Immortalized Cell Lines

Immortalized cell lines are cells that have been modified to divide endlessly in laboratory conditions, unlike normal cells which eventually stop growing. These cells are used in research because they provide a consistent, long-term resource for studying biology, testing drugs, and developing treatments. They are often derived from cancer cells or have been altered to bypass natural growth limits, allowing scientists to perform experiments repeatedly without the cells dying out. This makes them valuable tools for scientific discovery, medical research, and the production of biological products.
