A member asked:
Which groups of cells go through cell division in a healthy adult?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most: Cell division is how the body renews itself and almost all do that - especially blood cells elements, intestinal lining, lung lining and skin. The only cells that don't divide are neural cells, lens cells, corneal inner lining and retinal cells.
