    GlossaryEx Vivo

    biological experiments conducted outside a living organism

    "Ex vivo" refers to biological experiments or processes conducted outside of a living organism, but in an environment that mimics natural conditions. For example, researchers might study hair follicles ex vivo by maintaining them in a nutrient-rich solution to observe their growth and behavior, which can provide insights into conditions like alopecia without the complexities of a whole living system.
