GlossaryMitotic Activity

process of cells dividing and replicating

Mitotic Activity refers to the process by which cells divide and replicate, a fundamental mechanism for growth, development, and tissue repair. It is often measured to assess the rate at which cells are proliferating, which can be crucial in contexts like cancer research, where high mitotic activity may indicate aggressive tumor growth, or in hair biology, where it can influence hair growth cycles.
