population of cells grown and maintained in a lab

A cell line is a population of cells that can be grown and maintained in a laboratory setting for extended periods. These cells are derived from a single cell and are genetically identical, allowing researchers to study biological processes, drug responses, and disease mechanisms in a controlled environment. Cell lines are crucial in medical research, including studies on hair growth and alopecia, as they provide a consistent and reproducible model for experimentation.
