Proliferieren is a German verb that translates to "proliferate" in English. It describes a process of rapid increase or reproduction, often in number or type. This can apply to various contexts, including biological, social, and technological phenomena. In biology, cells proliferate when they divide and multiply, forming new cells. This is a fundamental process for growth, development, and tissue repair. Pathological proliferation can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, as seen in cancer.
