NIH 3T3 cells

NIH 3T3 cells are a type of mouse-derived cell line commonly used in biological research. They are fibroblast cells, which are a kind of connective tissue cell involved in wound healing and structural support in tissues. These cells can grow easily in lab conditions, making them valuable for studying cell behavior, gene function, cancer development, and drug effects. Since they are well-characterized and stable, NIH 3T3 cells serve as a standard model to understand basic cellular processes and test new treatments in a controlled environment.
