proliferáció
Proliferáció is a term used in various scientific fields to describe the rapid increase in numbers or reproduction of cells, organisms, or entities. In biology, it specifically refers to cell division, where one cell divides into two or more daughter cells. This process is fundamental to growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms. Uncontrolled proliferation of cells, however, can lead to the formation of tumors and is a hallmark of cancer.
In ecology, proliferation can describe the rapid growth of populations of organisms, such as bacteria, algae,
The concept of proliferation also extends to fields like nuclear physics and computer science. In nuclear physics,
