The origin, formation, and development of cells.
Greek 'kytos' (cell) and 'genesis' (origin/beginning). A fundamental term in biology describing how cells originate and develop from pre-existing cells.
The principle behind cytogenesis is that 'all cells come from cells'—a revolutionary insight in the 1800s that replaced the older belief in spontaneous generation. It's one of the foundational truths of modern biology.
