| Abstract | Cell lines are indispensable tools in research, but misidentification, contamination, and genetic drift can silently undermine reproducibility. Drawing on experience at the JCRB Cell Bank, this seminar is intended for researchers working with cells and will explore why cell-line authentication matters and how to maintain cell lines properly. |
