    Glossaryin vitro expansion

    process of growing cells outside a living organism

    In vitro expansion refers to the process of growing and multiplying cells outside of a living organism, typically in a controlled laboratory environment like a petri dish or bioreactor. This technique is crucial for research and medical applications, such as developing treatments for hair loss or studying cellular behaviors, because it allows scientists to produce large quantities of cells for experimentation and therapeutic use.
