syöpäsolulinja
Syöpäsolulinja, known in English as cancer cell line, refers to a population of cancer cells that are maintained in vitro, meaning they are grown and propagated in a laboratory setting. These cell lines are derived from a tumor and, under appropriate conditions, can be cultured indefinitely. This continuous growth is typically achieved because cancer cells often possess mutations that circumvent normal cellular senescence or apoptosis (programmed cell death), allowing them to divide endlessly, a characteristic known as immortality.
The development of cancer cell lines has been instrumental in cancer research. Researchers utilize these cell
Different cancer cell lines represent distinct types of cancer and often exhibit unique genetic and phenotypic
