Overview
Biological cultures are populations of microorganisms, cells, or tissues grown and maintained under controlled laboratory conditions in a nutrient medium. By providing a defined and reproducible environment, culturing allows scientists to grow and study living material outside its natural setting, observing how organisms and cells respond to factors such as temperature, pH, nutrients, and the presence of particular substances. Culturing is fundamental across biology and medicine: microbial cultures are used to identify pathogens and test antibiotic susceptibility, cell cultures support research into disease mechanisms and drug effects, and tissue cultures contribute to regenerative medicine and biotechnology. Techniques range from simple growth on solid or liquid media to sophisticated systems that sustain delicate cells over time. The ability to cultivate biological material reliably underpins diagnostics, research, and the production of vaccines, antibodies, and other biological products. As a topic within the journal's coverage of Biotechnology and Biomedical Science, biological cultures connect to a wide array of experimental and applied work. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to biological cultures and their use in studying cells, microorganisms, and tissues.
