GlossaryBromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)

synthetic nucleoside used to track cell proliferation

Bromodeoxyuridine, often abbreviated as BrdU, is a synthetic nucleoside that is commonly used in scientific research to measure cell proliferation. It works by incorporating into the DNA of dividing cells, allowing researchers to track and quantify new cell growth, which is particularly useful in studies of cancer, development, and tissue regeneration.
