    Glossary Terminal Differentiation

    cell's final development into a specialized, non-dividing state

    Terminal differentiation is the process by which a cell undergoes its final stage of development, becoming a specialized cell type with a specific function, such as a skin cell or a neuron. Once a cell has terminally differentiated, it typically loses the ability to divide and produce new cells, focusing instead on performing its specialized role. This process is crucial for the proper functioning of tissues and organs in the body.
