  2. Cell culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_culture

    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 ...

  3. Subculture (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subculture_(biology)

    Line of T175 cell culture flasks containing red cell culture medium. In biology, a subculture is either a new cell culture or a microbiological culture made by transferring some or all cells from a previous culture to fresh growth medium. This action is called subculturing or passaging the cells. Subculturing is used to prolong the lifespan and ...

  4. Contact inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_inhibition

    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.

  5. Secondary cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_cell_wall

    The cell starts producing the secondary cell wall after the primary cell wall is complete and the cell has stopped expanding. [1] It is most prevalent in the Ground tissue found in vascular plants, with Collenchyma having little to no lignin, and Sclerenchyma having lignified secondary cells walls. [2] [3]

  6. Tissue engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_engineering

    Micro-mass cultures of C3H-10T1/2 cells at varied oxygen tensions stained with Alcian blue. A commonly applied definition of tissue engineering, as stated by Langer [3] and Vacanti, [4] is "an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve [Biological tissue] function or a ...

  7. Plasmodesma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmodesma

    Neighbouring plant cells are therefore separated by a pair of cell walls and the intervening middle lamella, forming an extracellular domain known as the apoplast. Although cell walls are permeable to small soluble proteins and other solutes, plasmodesmata enable direct, regulated, symplastic transport of substances between cells. There are two ...

  8. European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Collection_of...

    It is part of the Culture Collections of Public Health England. The collection is held in Porton Down . ECACC, which was established in 1984, [ 1 ] consists of a team with specialist knowledge which supply authenticated cell lines, induced Pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and nucleic acids to provide stock for the research community.

  9. Suspension culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_culture

    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. The ...
