Tissue culture refers to the practice of growing or maintaining living cells or tissues in the laboratory. In practice this means anything from keeping a small sample of tissue alive by perfusing with warmed, oxygenated Ringer's solution (think salt and sugar solution with a buffer) to growing whole organs with more complex set ups. Much work is done on cancer cell lines which grow comparatively easily with the right media this technique is sometimes called cell culture. Plant tissue culture is also essential for biotechnological applications and in some cases is used to preserve rare species.
