Adherent culture, the Glossary

Index Adherent culture

Adherent cell cultures are a type of cell culture that requires cells to be attached to a surface in order for growth to occur.[1]

Blood cell

A blood cell (also called a hematopoietic cell, hemocyte, or hematocyte) is a cell produced through hematopoiesis and found mainly in the blood.

See Adherent culture and Blood cell

Cell (biology)

The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life.

See Adherent culture and Cell (biology)

Cell biology

Cell biology (also cellular biology or cytology) is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells.

See Adherent culture and Cell biology

Cell culture

Cell culture or tissue culture is the process by which cells are grown under controlled conditions, generally outside of their natural environment.

See Adherent culture and Cell culture

Cell migration

Cell migration is a central process in the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms.

See Adherent culture and Cell migration

Cell proliferation

Cell proliferation is the process by which a cell grows and divides to produce two daughter cells.

See Adherent culture and Cell proliferation

Growth medium

A growth medium or culture medium is a solid, liquid, or semi-solid designed to support the growth of a population of microorganisms or cells via the process of cell proliferation or small plants like the moss Physcomitrella patens.

See Adherent culture and Growth medium

Hemocytometer

The hemocytometer (or haemocytometer) is a counting-chamber device originally designed and usually used for counting blood cells.

See Adherent culture and Hemocytometer

Microcarrier

A microcarrier is a support matrix that allows for the growth of adherent cells in bioreactors.

See Adherent culture and Microcarrier

Monolayer

A monolayer is a single, closely packed layer of entities, commonly atoms or molecules.

See Adherent culture and Monolayer

Morphology (biology)

Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features.

See Adherent culture and Morphology (biology)

Precipitation (chemistry)

In an aqueous solution, precipitation is the "sedimentation of a solid material (a precipitate) from a liquid solution".

See Adherent culture and Precipitation (chemistry)

Primary cell culture

Primary cell culture is the ex vivo culture of cells freshly obtained from a multicellular organism, as opposed to the culture of immortalized cell lines. Adherent culture and Primary cell culture are cell culture.

See Adherent culture and Primary cell culture

Protease

A protease (also called a peptidase, proteinase, or proteolytic enzyme) is an enzyme that catalyzes proteolysis, breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and spurring the formation of new protein products.

See Adherent culture and Protease

Subculture (biology)

In biology, a subculture is either a new cell culture or a microbiological culture made by transferring some or all cells from a previous culture to fresh growth medium.

See Adherent culture and Subculture (biology)

Suspension culture

A cell suspension or suspension culture is a type of cell culture in which single cells or small aggregates of cells are allowed to function and multiply in an agitated growth medium, thus forming a suspension.
