| neuronal differentiation | Acquisition during development of specific biochemical, physiological and morphological properties by nerve cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| differentiation | The distinguishing of one thing or disease from another. (18 Nov 1997) |
| differentiation antigen | Any large structural macromolecule that can be detected by immune reagents and that also is associated with the differentiation of a particular cell type or types. Many cells can be identified by their possession of a unique set of differentiation antigens. There should be no implication that the antigens cause differentiation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| invisible differentiation | Differentiation of the cellular chemical constituents in the embryo prior to cytodifferentiation; sometimes recognizable histochemically. Synonym: invisible differentiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| echocardiographic differentiation | The processing of a signal so that the output depends upon the rate of change of the input; e.g., it will display changes in amplitude but will reduce the duration of the waveform. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute cellular rejection | Graft rejection which usually begins within 10 days after a graft has been transplanted into a genetically dissimilar host. Lesions at the site of the graft characteristically are infiltrated with large numbers of lymphocytes and macrophages which cause tissue damage. See: primary rejection. Synonym: acute rejection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular | 1. Relating to, derived from, or composed of cells. 2. Having numerous compartments or interstices. Origin: L. Cellula, dim. Of cella, storeroom (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular biology | <study> The study of cells. Implies the use of light or electron microscopic methods for the study of morphology. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cellular biophysics | Biophysics concerned with cellular processes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular blue nevus | A large, acquired blue nevus in which melanocytes are often clear and large, alternating with pigmented spindle cells and which may expand deeply into the subcutis; malignant change is very rare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular cartilage | An embryonic or immature stage of cartilage in which it consists chiefly of cells with very little matrix. Synonym: parenchymatous cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular embolism | Embolism due to a mass of cells transported from disintegrating tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular engineering | <technique> The use of techniques for constructing replacement or additional or experimental parts of cells and tissues for both fundamental investigation and as prosthetic devices. Often involves the interfacing of cells and nonliving structures. (26 Mar 1998) |
| cellular immune theory | A concept, put forth by Elie Metchnikoff, that cells, not antibodies, were responsible for the immune response of an organism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular immunity | <cell biology, immunology> Immune response that involves enhanced activity by phagocytic cells and does not imply lymphocyte involvement. Since the term is easily confused with cell-mediated immunity its use in this sense should be avoided. (26 Mar 1998) |
