When cells, especially primary cells, are seeded at very low densities, they can die. 😐 Why? Because cells are social creatures and need others to form a community called tissue.
The same applies to medium changes. If these are done too frequently, cells believe that no one else is there, as signals from other cells are washed away before they reach their destination – other cells.
At very low cell densities, dividing would be wasteful, so cells do not divide, or sometimes even die.
💙 Don’t overdo it with media changes 🌊
💙 seed an appropriate number of cells
💙 and celebrate friendship and togetherness!

Happy Cellentine’s Day to all cell culture lovers!
