Introduction
Cell culture refers to the process of isolating cells from inside or outside the body and allowing them to continue growing and proliferating under specific culture media and conditions in vitro. There are many types of cell culture, including primary cell culture, cell line culture, and mixed cell culture. Among these, cell line culture is the most commonly used method and is widely applied in fields such as biology and medicine.

Cell culture is one of the most important experimental techniques in fields such as biology, medicine, and biotechnology. It can be used to study physiological, biochemical, genetic, and toxicological aspects of cells, as well as for the production of biological products, drug screening, and cell therapy. In cell culture, appropriate conditions—including culture medium, temperature, humidity, oxygen, and carbon dioxide—must be provided to maintain cell growth and proliferation.
There are many types of cell culture, including primary cell culture, cell line culture, and mixed cell culture. Among these, cell line culture refers to a population of cells derived from one or more cells that continue to grow and divide in vitro, forming a continuously proliferating cell population. Cell line culture is the most commonly used method in cell culture and is widely applied in biology, medicine, and biotechnology.
