| ECM | Any material produced by cells and secreted into the surrounding medium, but usually applied to the noncellular portion of animal tissues. The ecm of connective tissue is particularly extensive and the properties of the ecm determine the properties of the tissue. In broad terms there are three major components: fibrous elements particularly collagen, elastin or reticulin), link proteins (e.g. Fibronectin, laminin) and space filling molecules (usually glycosaminoglycans). The matrix may be mineralised to resist compression (as in bone) or dominated by tension resisting fibres (as in tendon). The basal lamina of epithelial cells is another commonly encountered ecm. Although ecm is produced by cells, it has recently become clear that the ecm can influence the behaviour of cells quite markedly, an important factor to consider when growing cells in vitro: removing cells from their normal environment can have far reaching effects.

| ecmnesia | An obsolete term for a loss of memory for recent events. Origin: G. Ek, out, + mnesios, relating to memory (05 Mar 2000) |
| ECMO virus | Simian picornavirus recovered from monkey kidney cells and stools. Synonym: enteric cytopathogenic monkey orphan virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ECn | <abbreviation> This is the commonly used abbreviation for the exposure concentration of a poisonous substance causing a defined effect on n% of a test population, for instance, the EC50 would affect 50% of the population. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Eco RI | <enzyme> Probably the most commonly used type II restriction endonuclease isolated from Escherichia coli. It cuts the sequence GAATTC between G and A thus generating 5' sticky ends. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Eco RII | <enzyme> Type II restriction endonuclease isolated from Escherichia coli. It cuts the sequence CC(T/A)GG in front of the first C giving 5' sticky ends. (18 Nov 1997) |
| eco- | The environment. Origin: G. Oikos, house, household, habitation (05 Mar 2000) |
| eco-organ | <ecology> An ecological feature which mirrors environmental conditions. A type of vegetation based on such a feature. (11 Oct 1998) |
| Eco47II methyltransferase | <enzyme> From escherichia coli; 417 amino acids; genbank x82105 Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: eco47ii gene product, eco47ii mtase, m.eco47ii (26 Jun 1999) |
| ecoendocrinology | The study of the interactions of endocrine systems with the environment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ecogenetics | The interaction of genetics with the environment. The genetic disease PKU (phenylketonuria) provides an illustration of ecogenetics. Persons with PKU lack an enzyme to process an amino acid (phenylalanine) and so require a special environment: a diet low in phenylalanine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ecoid | The framework of a red blood cell. Origin: eco-+ G. Eidos, resemblance (05 Mar 2000) |
| ecological chemistry | Chemistry that concentrates on the effects of woman-made chemicals on the environment as well as the development of agents that are not harmful to the environment. The study of the molecular interactions between species and between species and the environment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ecological ectocrine | A chemical substance that undergoes biosynthesis in one species and that exerts an effect on the function of another species through mechanisms of the external environment; e.g., the biosynthesis of vitamins by ruminants and their subsequent ingestion by other animals. See: ectohormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ecological epidemiology | <epidemiology> A branch of epidemiology which views disease as a result of the ecological interactions between populations of hosts and parasites; what we do. We contrast this with classical epidemiology. (05 Dec 1998) |
