Culture as civilization
Many people today use a conception of "culture" that developed in Europe during the 18th and early 19th centuries.
Culture (from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate,") generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activities significance and importance.
Cancer Cells in Culture
Both normal cells and cancer cells can be cultured in vitro in the laboratory. However, they behave quite differently.
