Cell culture is the process by which either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells are grown under controlled conditions. In practice the term "cell culture" has come to refer to the culturing of cells derived from multicellular eukaryotes, especially animal cells. The historical development and methods of cell culture are closely interrelated to those of tissue culture and organ culture.

Animal cell culture became a routine laboratory technique in the 1950s, but the concept of maintaining live cell lines separated from their original tissue source was discovered in the 19th Century.

History


19th Century English physiologist Sydney Ringer developed salt solutions containing the chlorides of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium suitable for maintaining the beating of an isolated animal heart outside of the body.* In 1885 Wilhelm Roux removed a portion of the medullary plate of an embryonic chicken and maintained it in a warm saline solution for several days, establishing the principle of tissue culture. Ross Granville Harrison, working at Johns Hopkins Medical School and then at Yale University, published results of his experiments from 1907-1910, establishing the methodology of tissue culture.

So what, I know I'm a N.E.R.D. when it comes to cell phones, Japanese culture, and stuff. I'm still a skateboarder/role model to alot!

휴! 세미나 발표 끝났다. 동물 cell culture system이 아무리 편하다 하더라도 기본적인 유전학은 이해할 줄 알았는데. Double mutant와 genetic epistasis를 설명하는 순간 1/3은 멍때리기 시작하더군. 바보들!
