Genetic engineering: is the direct operation/manipulation of an organism's genes using biotechnological methods. Also known as genetic modification or genetic manipulation.
The use of primary cells in vitro is compromised by the limited quantity of cells that can be isolated from one donor, a lack of or very restricted proliferation capacity (e.g. hepatocytes)...
