Immortalized Cells vs. Cancer Cells

Immortalized cells, engineered to bypass senescence, are essential for controlled laboratory research, while cancer cells arise from genetic mutations and exhibit uncontrolled proliferation, aiding in cancer biology studies. Their applications span drug discovery, disease modeling, and therapy testing, though both face ethical and practical challenges. Innovations like organoids and CRISPR are transforming cellular research. Additionally, early identification of autism symptoms in toddlers enables timely intervention for better developmental outcomes.<br><br>

Presentation Transcript

  1. IMMORTALIZED CELLS VS. CANCER CELLS EXPLORING CELLULAR PROPERTIES, APPLICATIONS, AND IMPLICATIONS www.kosheeka.com

  2. OVERVIEW OF IMMORTALIZED CELLS Definition: Cells modified to bypass senescence and continue dividing. Techniques for immortalization: Telomerase activation, oncogenes, or viral transformation. Examples: HeLa cells, HEK293 cells. Image Source:- https://www.atcc.org/products/crl-3249

  3. OVERVIEW OF CANCER CELLS Definition: Abnormal cells with uncontrolled proliferation due to genetic mutations. Hallmarks of cancer: Evasion of apoptosis, sustained angiogenesis, and metastasis. Examples: Breast cancer cells (MCF-7), melanoma cells (A375). Image Source:- https://www.rwdstco.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-commercial-cell-lines/
