| cytomegalovirus | <virology> Probably the most widespread of the Herpetoviridae group. Infected cells enlarge and have a characteristic inclusion body (composed of virus particles) in the nucleus. Causes disease only in utero (leading to abortion or stillbirth or to various congenital defects), although can be opportunistic in the immunocompromised host. Patients who have been exposed to the virus will remain cytomegalovirus IgG positive. Acronym: CMV (30 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| cytomegalovirus disease | <disease> An illness in newborns caused by viral infection, symptoms includefever, cellular enlargement, microscopically-visible clumps of viralparticles or proteins in the cytoplasm and nuclei of affected cells, enlargementof the spleen and liver. Long-term effects of the disease may includemental retardation. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cytomegalovirus infections | Infection with cytomegalovirus, characterised by enlarged cells bearing intranuclear inclusions. Infection may be in almost any organ, but the salivary glands are the most common site in children, as are the lungs in adults. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cytomegalovirus polyradiculopathy | <neurology, pathology> Cytomegalovirus infection of the peripheral nerves and the spinal roots leading to generalised weakness and paralysis. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (09 Oct 1997) |
| cytomegalovirus retinitis | <pathology> A complication of disseminated cytomegalovirus infection in the immunocompromised individual (for example AIDS). Severe inflammatory changes in the retina result in blindness. Treatments include antiviral agents like foscarnet and gancyclovir. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cytomembrane | <cell biology> The structure enveloping a cell, enclosing the cytoplasm and forming a selective permeability barrier. It consists of lipids, proteins and some carbohydrates, the lipids thought to form a bilayer in which integral proteins are embedded to varying degrees. Synonym: plasma membrane. (26 Mar 1998) |
| cytomere | The structure separating the portions of the contents of a large schizont in the course of schizogony, as in some of the sporozoans undergoing exoerythrocytic asexual division. Cytomeres are caused by complex invaginations of the surface of the schizont, which isolates them; ultimately, cytomere's complete the budding process in the formation of large numbers of merozoites. Origin: cyto-+ G. Meros, part (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytometaplasia | Change of form or function of a cell, other than that related to neoplasia. Origin: cyto-+ G. Metaplasis, transformation (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytometer | A standardised, usually ruled glass slide or small glass chamber of known volume, used in counting and measuring cells, especially blood cells. Origin: cyto-+ G. Metron, measure (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytometry | The counting of cells, especially blood cells, using a cytometer or haemocytometer. Flow cytometry, a method of measuring fluorescence from stained cells that are in suspension and flowing through a narrow orifice, usually in combination with one or two lasers to activate the dyes; used to measure cell size, number, viability, and nucleic acid content with the aid of acridine orange, Kasten's fluorescent Feulgen stain, ethidium bromide, trypan blue, and other selected staining reagents. Synonym: flow cytophotometry. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytometry, flow | Analysis of biological material by detection of the light-absorbing or fluorescing properties of cells or subcellular fractions such as chromosomes passing in a narrow stream through a laser beam. Flow cytometry is used with automated sorting devices to sort successive droplets of the stream into different fractions depending on the fluorescence emitted by each droplet. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cytomicrosome | See: microsome. Origin: cyto-+ G. Mikros, small, + soma, body (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytomorphology | The study of the structure of cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytomorphosis | Changes that the cell undergoes during the various stages of its existence. See: prosoplasia. Origin: cyto-+ G. Morphosis, a shaping (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyton | <cell biology> The main part of a neuron cell (which consists of the main body plus a number of long extensions from it called axons, axon terminals, and dendrites). (09 Oct 1997) |

| cytology |
Cell biology (also called cellular biology or cytology, from the Greek kytos, "container") is an academic discipline which studies cells. This includes their physiological properties such as their structure and the organelles they contain, their environment and interactions, their life cycle, division and function (physiology) and eventual death. ...

| cytosol |
The cytosol (as opposed to cytoplasm, which also includes the organelles) is the internal fluid of the cell, and a large part of cell metabolism occurs here. Proteins within the cytosol play an important role in signal transduction pathways, glycolysis, and they act as intracellular receptors and form part of the ribosomes, enabling further protein synthesis. In prokaryotes, all chemical reactions take place in the cytosol. In eukaryotes, the cytosol contains the cell organelles. ...
