| Cell Culture | Growth of cells in vitro in an artificial medium for experimental research. |
| Cell Division | Method by which a single cell divides to create two cells. There are two main types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. |
| Cell-based Therapies | Treatment in which stem cells are induced to differentiate into the specific cell type required to repair damaged or destroyed cells or tissues. |
| Clone | Generate identical copies of a molecule, cell, or organism. 1. When it is used to refer to cells grown in a tissue culture dish, a clone is a line of cells that is genetically identical to the originating cell. This cloned line is produced by cell division (mitosis) of the originating cell. 2. The term clone may also be used to refer to an animal produced by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). |
| Cloning | See Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). |
| Cord Blood Stem Cells | See Umbilical cord blood stem cells. |
