"in vitro" means "in glass"
"in vivo" means "in life."
The simplest example is drug development. The first stages are all done in vitro, but then it has to be checked and verified in vivo, and usually even the most promising drugs don't work out, either because they don't work as hoped, or because they also have bad effects that weren't predicted.

What is an in vivo test?
An in vivo test is a test in a live subject, as opposed to in vitro tests done in the lab.
Are there bipolar cells in the ciliary ganglion?
Bipolar neurons in the ciliary ganglion only exist during embryonic development and in vitro. Adult in vivo choroid and ciliary neurons in the ciliary ganglion are all unipolar.
Why is Xenon lipophilic?
Yes. Xenon is lipophilic and exhibits affinity for cavities in macromolecular interiors. Xenon's lipophilic behavior has been shown from its partition with long-chain hydrocarbons and from its in vitro and in vivo partition with fatty tissue.
What is main function of DNA polymerase?
The DNA polymerase enzyme synthesises the complementary DNA strand to a single stranded DNA strand (in vivo and in vitro). This often requires the presence of a 3' end for the polymerase enzyme to bind to before synthesis can begin. Taq polymerase (A DNA polymerase) is often used in PCR reactions to synthesise DNA in vitro using primers to provide a 3' end to bind to.
Is vitamin b6 good for plants?
Vitamin B6 has a function in the in vivo antioxidant defense of plants. The antioxidant activity of vitamin B6 inferred from in vitro studies is confirmed in planta. Together with the finding that chloroplasts contain vitamin B6 compounds, vitamin B6 functions as a photoprotector that limits 1O2 accumulation in high light and prevents 1O2-mediated oxidative damage.
What is the opposite of in-vitro?
The opposite of "in vitro" (literally in glass) is "in vivo" (in life).
What is IVIVC?
it is vitro-in-vivo correlation
What are in vivo and in vitro test in nuclear medicine?
vivo = lifevitro = glass
Why must an in vitro observation be confirmed in vivo?
Some enzymes behave unnaturally in a test tube (Apex).
What is an in vivo test?
An in vivo test is a test in a live subject, as opposed to in vitro tests done in the lab.
What does in vivo mean in englsh?
In vivo means a process which takes place inside a living organism, as opposed to in vitro, which means it takes place outside the organism. For example, human babies are usually made in vivo, but some people have to use in vitro methods for various reasons.
What is the difference between Ex-vivo or In-vitro?
Ex vivo (Outside the body or living organism) - The experiments or the tests conducted on living cells, organs or tissues harvested from a living organism. Eg. Testing tissues from rat dissection or biopsy samples. In vitro (inside a glass or within glass) - The experiments conducted using components from living organisms and creating the same physiologic conditions prevailing within the body using other sources. Eg. IVF
What is the difference between ex-vivo therapy and invivo therapy?
Ex vivo is time consuming and expensive but great control
What does the scientific expression in vitro mean?
The term in vitro means " in an artificial environment, outside the body."add Literally it means "in glass", as distinct from "in vivo" within the body.
What has the author Feisal A Adatia written?
Feisal A. Adatia has written: 'Proexendin-4 processing in vitro and in vivo'
What causes green cerebral spinal fluid?
Pseudomonas meningitis (in vitro). It has been reported in vivo only a few times.
What are the key features of In Vitro Screening?
In vitro screening and high-throughput screening are critical aspects of modern drug discovery processes. Prior to the advent of these technologies, screening for biologically active candidate compounds is a major bottleneck in the identification of novel therapeutics. The proper combination of in vitro assays can provide critical information to deliver better prediction of transition to in vivo studies. Creative Bioarray’s in vitro screening services offer customized in vitro assay testing from target discovery to expression to provide insights into translation in vivo and ultimately the clinic.
