# Cell culture

Cell culture is the process of growing cells under controlled conditions outside their natural environment, typically in a nutrient medium in an incubator at defined temperature and carbon dioxide levels. Peptides are frequently tested in cell culture systems to study signalling, binding and cellular responses.
