| monoisonitrosoacetone | CH3CO-CH==NOH; propanone 1-oxine;a cholinesterase reactivator that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier readily and cause significant reactivation of phosphorylated acetylcholinesterase in the central nervous system; used to protect human beings and animals against otherwise lethal poisoning with organophosphorous anticholinesterase agents. Synonym: monoisonitrosoacetone, pyruvaldoxine. (05 Mar 2000) |

| monokine | <molecular biology> Soluble factor, derived from macrophages, that act on other cells (e.g. Interleukin-1). Becoming unusual all monokines are cytokines and that term is more commonly used. (18 Nov 1997) |
| monokines | Soluble mediators of the immune response that are neither antibodies nor complement. They are produced largely, but not exclusively, by monocytes and macrophages. (12 Dec 1998) |
| monolayer | <chemistry> A single layer of any molecule, but most commonly applied to polar lipids. Can be formed at an air/water interface in experimental systems. The term should not be used to describe one layer of a lipid bilayer, for which the term leaflet is generally used. See: monolayering of cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| monolayering of cell | <cell biology> Tendency of animal tissue cells growing on solid surfaces to cover the surface with a complete layer only one cell thick, before growing on top of each other. This nonrandom distribution is generated by contact inhibition of locomotion, a phenomenon in which colliding cells change direction rather than move over one another. Of the theories why some (but by no means all) types of cells stop growing when a monolayer is formed, present evidence favours limitation by supply of growth factors from the medium, rather than any inhibitory effect of contact on growth. (18 Nov 1997) |
| monolayers | 1. Films, one molecule thick, formed on water by certain substances, such as proteins and fatty acids, characterised by molecules containing some atom groupings that are soluble in water and other atom groupings that are insoluble in water. 2. A confluent sheet of cells, one cell deep, growing on a surface in a cell culture. (05 Mar 2000) |
