ELI5 mode

Cell proliferation is the biological process by which cells divide and increase in number, playing a vital role in growth, development, and tissue repair in living organisms. In modern contexts, it's a double-edged sword, as controlled proliferation maintains health while uncontrolled versions can fuel diseases like cancer, making it a hot topic in medical research.
