Answer:

The statements are correct.

Explanation:  

Cell culture is a technique widely used in molecular biology where cell lines are grown in controlled conditions, thus allowing to make experiments and to test compounds that may result useful to treat diverse diseases, including cancer.  

Immortalized cell lines are characterized for their ability to proliferate indefinitely which are derived from oncogenic tissues. In cancer research, these lines are used as models to test different drugs and to study cellular mechanisms associated with cancer progression including, among others, proliferation, invasiveness, vascularization, etc. In addition, the mechanisms associated with the death of cancer cells such as, for instance, apoptosis, may also be studied by using immortalized lines.
