Cell proliferation is same as cell growth.

thanks a lot !
another question, if the cell growth is the same as cell proliferation, how about the cell viability? it is also the same thing?

-lipid2008-

Cell viability is the determination of death or alive cells. This can be determine by using trypan blue. If u are not sure whether your cells are alive, using trypan blue will be an option. And of coz, cell viability can be use to determine your cell growth/cell proliferation and plot a growth curve.
