      Hi 🙂

      The cells I use are specially selected cells, they used to be cancer cells! This means they will grow very quickly (like cancer) and aren’t as easy to accidentally kill as normal human cells. They double their number in only 24 hours! so if I start with 1 million on Monday, I can have 2 million on Tuesday, then 4 million on Wednesday, so they don’t take long to grow at all!
