👉 Neocytosis is a process of cell division that occurs in certain types of cells, particularly those with a high metabolic demand. It involves the formation of new daughter cells from old ones, without the need for mitosis. This can occur through the activation of growth factors or through other mechanisms, such as programmed cell death, which are not typically associated with mitosis. For example, in skeletal muscle cells, neocytosis is a key process that allows these cells to grow and repair damaged
