👉 The term "histotome" is a term used in biology and genetics to refer to a cell or tissue that undergoes continuous changes over time, such as during cell division or differentiation. Histotomes are often seen in cells undergoing programmed cell death processes like apoptosis or necrosis, where they become more compact and less reactive. Historically, histotomes have been associated with the study of aging, cancer progression, and disease progression, among other cellular processes.
