The Cellosaurus is a knowledge resource on cell lines. It attempts to describe all cell lines used in biomedical research, including:
Immortalized cell lines
Naturally immortal cell lines (example: stem cell lines)
Finite life cell lines when those are distributed and used widely
Vertebrate cell line with an emphasis on human, mouse and rat cell lines
Invertebrate (insects and ticks) cell lines
