In cell culture biology, confluence refers to the percentage of the surface of a culture dish that is covered by adherent cells.For example, 50 percent confluence means roughly half of the surface is covered, while 100 percent confluence means the surface is completely covered by the cells, and no more room is left for the cells to grow as a monolayer.

C2C12 cells demonstrate rapid development and maturation into functional skeletal muscle cells or cardiac muscle cells, having the ability to contract and generate force. [6] The rate of muscle formation from C2C12 cells can be controlled by the introduction of loss-of-functions genes vital for the fusion of myoblasts and myogenesis. [7]
This delay between cell-cell contact and onset of proliferation inhibition is shortened as the culture becomes more confluent. Thus, it may be reasonably concluded that cell-cell contact is an essential condition for contact inhibition of proliferation, but is by itself insufficient for mitotic inhibition.
Adherent cells, for example many mammalian cell lines, grow attached to a surface such as the bottom of a cell culture flask or petri dish. These cell types have to be detached from the surface before they can be subcultured. For adherent cells, cell density is normally measured in terms of confluency, the percentage of the growth surface ...
Cell culture is a fundamental component of tissue culture and tissue engineering, as it establishes the basics of growing and maintaining cells in vitro. The major application of human cell culture is in stem cell industry, where mesenchymal stem cells can be cultured and cryopreserved for future use. Tissue engineering potentially offers ...
Bitcoin could soar to $500,000 if Trump creates a national reserve, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said.. The US creating a national stockpile will influence other countries to follow suit, he predicted ...
Phase contrast micrograph of confluent Caco-2 cells. Caco-2 (from Cancer coli, "colon cancer") is an immortalized cell line of human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. It is primarily used as a model of the intestinal epithelial barrier. [1] In culture, Caco-2 cells spontaneously differentiate into a heterogeneous mixture of intestinal epithelial ...
Sydney Sweeney hit back after body shamers piled on one of her Instagram posts, which included videos and photos of her hitting the gym to prepare for her role as boxer Christy Martin.
