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 myotubes under light microscope, 10x magnification. C2C12 is an immortalized mouse myoblast cell line.The C2C12 cell line is a subclone of myoblasts that were originally obtained by Yaffe and Saxel at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel in 1977. [1]
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 ...
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.
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 ...
4T1 cell culture - 50% confluence. 4T1 is a breast cancer cell line derived from the mammary gland tissue of a mouse BALB/c strain. [1] 4T1 cells are epithelial and are resistant to 6-thioguanine. [1] In preclinical research, 4T1 cells have been used to study breast cancer metastasis as they can metastasize to the lung, liver, lymph nodes ...
Mixed co-culture is the simplest co-culture method, where two types of cells are in direct contact within a single culture compartment at the desired cell ratio. [47] Cells can communicate by paracrine and juxtacrine signaling, but separated treatments and downstream analysis of a single cell type are not readily feasible due to the completely ...
Trypsinization is the process of cell dissociation using trypsin, a proteolytic enzyme which breaks down proteins, to dissociate adherent cells from the vessel in which they are being cultured. When added to cell culture, trypsin breaks down the proteins that enable the cells to adhere to the vessel.
