Culturing refers to growing cells (including embryos!) in the lab, using specialized liquid called โculture mediaโ that contains the necessary components for the cellโs growth. Cell culturing also involves placing the cells in an incubator, thatโs heated to body temperature with humidity. All together, cell culturing helps to mimic the cellโs natural environment so they can grow.
