Tissue Culture: Growing Life in the Lab

General

Tissue culture is a technique where cells, tissues, or small plant parts are grown in a nutrient-rich medium under sterile conditions.

:seedling: In Plants – It’s widely used to produce thousands of identical, disease-free plants (like banana, sugarcane, orchids) and to conserve rare species.

:dna: In Medicine – Human and animal cells in culture help in drug testing, vaccine production, stem cell research, and regenerative medicine.

:sparkles: The secret lies in totipotency – the ability of a single plant cell to grow into a whole plant under the right conditions.

Tissue culture shows how tiny cells, when nurtured, can multiply and transform into complete life forms—making it a powerful tool in agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology.

Tissue culture is truly fascinating—it shows how science can turn tiny cells into something big and meaningful. The concept of totipotency is like nature’s magic, where one cell can become a whole plant. In medicine, it’s helping us test drugs safely and explore new treatments. As a pharmacy graduate, I feel proud that such techniques are shaping the future of health and agriculture. It’s a reminder that small steps in science can lead to life-changing outcomes.
