| red cell cast | A urinary cast composed of a matrix containing red cells in various stages of degeneration and visibility, characteristic of glomerular disease or renal parenchymal bleeding. Synonym: red cell cast. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Reed-Sternberg cell | <haematology, pathology> A type of cell that appears in patients with Hodgkin's disease. The number of these cells increases as the disease advances. (12 May 1997) |
| viable cell count | Number of cells in a given area or volume that are thriving. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mature cell leukaemia | Chronic granulocytic leukaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mauthner's cell | <marine biology> A large neuron of the spinal cord with its cell body located in the metencephalon of fish and amphibia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caterpillar cell | A large mononuclear cell found in connective tissue of the heart wall in inflammatory conditions, especially in the Aschoff body. The ovoid nucleus contains a central chromatin mass appearing as a wavy bar in longitudinal section. Synonym: Anitschkow cell, Anitschkow myocyte, caterpillar cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gitter cell | A lipid-laden microglial phagocyte commonly seen at the edge of healing brain infarcts, a result of cellular phagocytosis of lipid from necrotic or degenerating brain cells. Synonym: compound granule cell. Origin: Ger. Gitterzelle, fr. Gitter, lattice, wire-net (05 Mar 2000) |
| M cell | <cell biology> An autonomous self replicating unit (in principle) that may constitute an organism (in the case of unicellular organisms) or be a sub unit of multicellular organisms in which individual cells may be more or less specialised differentiated) for particular functions. The individual units from which tissues of the body are formed. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. (26 Mar 1998) |
| regulatory cell proliferation kinase | <enzyme> Involved in mitosis regulation; has characteristics of serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases; isolated from saccharomyces cerevisiae; genbank l08909 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: rpk1 protein, rpk1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| regulatory T-cell | <immunology> Vague term for any class of T lymphocyte not directly involved in the effector side of immunity, but involved in controlling responses and actions of other cells, especially T helper and T suppressor cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| glial cell | <pathology> Specialised cells that surround neurons, providing mechanical and physical support and electrical insulation between neurons. (17 Dec 1997) |
| C cell | A cell of the pancreatic islets of the guinea pig. Synonym: gamma cell of pancreas. Synonym: parafollicular cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| globe cell anaemia | <haematology> A hereditary disorder that leads to a chronic haemolytic anaemia due to an abnormality in the red blood cell membrane. This disorder is caused by a defective gene. Red cells are resistant to stress and rupture easily. Infants may appear jaundiced and pale. Fatigue, weakness and shortness of breath are other symptoms that may be seen in older patients. The spleen may also be enlarged. Treatment includes splenectomy (removal of the spleen). After this is accomplished the life-span of the red blood cells returns to normal. (27 Sep 1997) |
| globoid cell | A large cell of mesodermal origin that is found clustered in the intracranial tissues in globoid cell leukodystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| globoid cell leukodystrophy | <radiology> Dysmyelinating disease, autosomal recessive, usually presents by 1 yr, specific enzyme deficiency identified, rapid spontaneous nystagmus, poikilothermia Synonym: Krabbe leukodystrophy (12 Dec 1998) |
