(pro-lih-fer-AY-shun) Reproduction or multiplication of similar forms, especially of cells
The process by which nations acquire nuclear weapons.
An increase in cell or organism numbers.
growth by the rapid multiplication of parts
a rapid increase in number (especially a rapid increase in the number of deadly weapons); "the proliferation of nuclear weapons"
The rapid increase by multiplication of similar forms, in this case, blood vessels.
The spread of nuclear weapon materials and/or technologies.
Rapid growth and reproduction of parts, such as cells.
rapid or uncontrolled reproduction or replication.
the increase in the number of cells or offspring.
The rapid increase in numbers of cancer cells by repeated cell division.
When a line of cells grows because cells continuously divide. Each single cell can divide into two exact copies. Each of those copies can divide into two more, and so on.
Expansion of a population of cells by the continuous division of single cells into two identical daughter cells.
Rapid (cell) growth, reproduction.
Growth by reproduction of similar cells.
The spread of nuclear weapons to countries without them and their development within countries which have them. (see also Non-Proliferation Treaty)
Rapid spread or increase of something.
The reproduction or multiplication of similar forms, especially of cells and morbid cysts.
Multiplying or increasing in number. In biology, cell proliferation occurs by a process called cell division.
A rapid and repeated production of new cells, tissues, or organs; specifically, a hyperplastic symptom of plant disease in which organs continue to develop after they have reached the point beyond which they normally do not grow. ( 20)
