cytogenesis
Cellular origin process
Cytogenesis is the formation and development of cells, particularly the process by which new cells originate and differentiate.
The term appears in biology and medicine when discussing how cells arise during embryonic development or tissue regeneration: The study examined cytogenesis in bone marrow.
