Cell culture is also a key technique for cellular agriculture, which aims to provide both new products and new ways of producing existing agricultural products like milk, (cultured) meat, fragrances, and rhino horn from cells and microorganisms. It is therefore considered one means of achieving animal-free agriculture.
Primary cell culture is the ex vivo culture of cells freshly obtained from a multicellular organism, as opposed to the culture of immortalized cell lines.In general, primary cell cultures are considered more representative of in vivo tissues than cell lines, and this is recognized legally in some countries such as the UK (Human Tissue Act 2004).

Tissue culture is the growth of tissues or cells in an artificial medium separate from the parent organism. This technique is also called micropropagation. This is typically facilitated via use of a liquid, semi-solid, or solid growth medium, such as broth or agar. Tissue culture commonly refers to the culture of animal cells and tissues, with ...
Nacre. Nacre (/ ˈneɪkər / NAY-kər, also / ˈnækrə / NAK-rə), [1] also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer. It is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent.
Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to smooth marble or other kinds of stone. [1] The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size , and then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric.
Adherent culture. Adherent cell cultures are a type of cell culture that requires cells to be attached to a surface in order for growth to occur. [1] Most vertebrate derived cells (with the exception of hematopoietic cells) can be cultured and require a 2 dimensional monolayer that to facilitate cell adhesion and spreading. [2]
CHO cells in suspension. A cell suspension or suspension culture is a type of cell culture in which single cells or small aggregates of cells are allowed to function and multiply in an agitated growth medium, thus forming a suspension. Suspension culture is one of the two classical types of cell culture, the other being adherent culture.
3D cell culture. A 3D cell culture is an artificially created environment in which biological cells are permitted to grow or interact with their surroundings in all three dimensions. Unlike 2D environments (e.g. a Petri dish), a 3D cell culture allows cells in vitro to grow in all directions, similar to how they would in vivo. [1]
