tissue culture
Cells grown artificially
Tissue culture is the growth of cells, tissues, or organs in an artificial medium outside the living organism.
The technique is fundamental to biological research, allowing scientists to study cellular behavior under controlled conditions.
In agriculture, tissue culture propagates plants from small samples: The orchids were grown from tissue culture.
The term also refers to the tissue being cultivated.
