Hyperplasia

/ˌhaɪ.pərˈpleɪ.ʒə/noun
ELI5 mode

Hyperplasia is the abnormal increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ, resulting in its enlargement without the cells themselves growing larger. This process is often a normal response to hormonal or environmental stimuli, but it can also indicate precancerous conditions, making it a key focus in modern medical diagnostics and preventive care.
