| homeo- | The same, alike. See: homo-. Origin: G. Homoios, similar (05 Mar 2000) |
| homeobox | <molecular biology> Conserved DNA sequence originally detected by DNA hybridisation in many of the genes that give rise to homeotic and segmentation mutants in Drosophila. The homeobox consists of about 180 nucleotides coding for a sequence of 60 amino acids in a protein, sometimes termed the homeodomain, of which about 80-90% are identical in the various homeodomains identified from Drosophila. Homeoboxes have also been detected in the genomes of vertebrates, with about 75% amino acid homology and a similar sequence has been found in the MAT gene of yeast. The homeobox codes for a protein domain that is involved in binding to DNA. Three subfamilies of homeobox containing proteins can be identified, based on the archetypal Drosophila genes engrailed, Antennapedia and paired. Interestingly, linear order within genome maps to order of expression in embryo. This may be required for the transcriptional silencing of certain homeotic genes (see Polycomb). (11 Nov 1997) |

| homeodomain proteins | Proteins encoded by homeobox genes (genes, homeobox) that exhibit structural similarity to certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA-binding proteins. Homeodomain proteins are involved in the control of gene expression during morphogenesis and development (gene expression regulation, developmental). (12 Dec 1998) |
| homeogenetic induction | The induction of an undifferentiated (general, all-purpose) cell to differentiate (become specialised) by a nearby cell which has already differentiated. This is most often observed in plant cells. (09 Oct 1997) |
| homeometric | Without change in size. Origin: homeo-+ G. Metron, measure (05 Mar 2000) |
| homeomorphous | Of similar shape, but not necessarily of the same composition. Origin: homeo-+ G. Morphe, shape (05 Mar 2000) |
| homeopath | A person who practices homeopathy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| homeopathic | 1. Relating to homeopathy. Synonym: homeotherapeutic. 2. Denoting an extremely small dose of a pharmacological agent, such as might be used in homeopathy; more generally, a dose believed to be too small to produce the effect usually expected from that agent. Compare: pharmacologic, physiologic, supraphysiologic. Origin: homeo-+ G. Pathos, disease (05 Mar 2000) |
| homeopathist | A medical practitioner of homeopathy. Synonym: homeopath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| homeopathy | <medicine> The art of curing, founded on resemblances; the theory and its practice that disease is cured (tuto, cito, et jucunde) by remedies which produce on a healthy person effects similar to the symptoms of the complaint under which the patient suffers, the remedies being usually administered in minute doses. This system was founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, and is opposed to allopathy, or heteropathy. Alternative forms: homoepathy. Origin: Gr. Likeness of condition or feeling; like (fr. Same; cf. Same) + to suffer: cf. F. Homeopathie. See Pathos. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| homeoplasia | The formation of new tissue of the same character as that already existing in the part. Synonym: homoioplasia. Origin: homeo-+ G. Plasis, a molding (05 Mar 2000) |
| homeoplastic | Relating to or characterised by homeoplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| homeorrhesis | The set of processes by which imbalances and other defects in ontogeny are corrected before development is completed. Synonym: ontogenic homeostasis, waddingtonian homeostasis. Origin: homeo-+ G. Rheos, stream, current (05 Mar 2000) |
