Mammalian Cell Culture

Mammalian cell culture is a laboratory process where scientists grow living cells derived from mammals, like humans or animals, in controlled, sterile environments. These cultures are maintained in nutrient-rich liquids called media that supply essential nutrients, growth factors, and appropriate conditions such as temperature and pH. Researchers use cell culture to study cell behavior, develop medicines, and produce biological products like vaccines. It’s a precise method that allows scientists to observe cells outside the body, providing valuable insights into health, disease, and therapeutic development.
