Transformed Cell Lines
Transformed cell lines are cells that have been changed in a way so they can continue to divide in an uncontrolled manner. These cell lines are created by deliberately introducing a genetic mutation that makes them grow and divide indefinitely. Transformed cell lines can be used in a variety of scientific applications, such as for studying cell function, testing drugs, and studying the effects of environmental factors on cells. The use of transformed cell lines is especially advantageous, since it eliminates the need for repeated experiments using new cells. They are also more consistent and easier to store than normal cells, which makes them invaluable in certain research fields.
