| desmoplakin | <cell biology> Proteins isolated from desmosomes. Types I (240 kD) and II (210 kD) are long flexible rod like molecules about 100nm long made of two polypeptide chains in parallel. Desmoplakin III is smaller 81 kD). (18 Nov 1997) |

| desmoplaquin | <protein> A protein component of the desmosome, which is an area along the outside of an epithelial cell that is in very close contact with another epithelial cell. (09 Oct 1997) |
| desmoplasia | Hyperplasia of fibroblasts and disproportionate formation of fibrous connective tissue, especially in the stroma of a carcinoma. Origin: desmo-+ G. Plasis, a molding (05 Mar 2000) |
| desmoplastic | 1. Causing or forming adhesions. 2. Causing fibrosis in the vascular stroma of a neoplasm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| desmoplastic cerebral astrocytoma | <tumour> A rare variant of astrocytoma most frequently occurring in infancy, the tumour has a spindled cell appearance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| desmoplastic fibroma | <tumour> A benign fibrous tumour of bone affecting children and young adults; cortical destruction may result. (05 Mar 2000) |
| desmoplastic malignant melanoma | <tumour> A melanoma with marked fibrosis surrounding atypical spindle-shaped melanocytes in the dermis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| desmoplastic trichoepithelioma | <tumour> A solitary, hard, annular, centrally depressed papule, occurring usually in women on the face, consisting of dermal strands of basaloid cells and small keratinous cysts within sclerotic desmoplastic stroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| desmoplastic tumours | <radiology> Carcinoid of small bowel or colon, Hodgkin's lymphoma, scirrhous gastric carcinoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| desmopressin | <chemical> 1-(3-mercaptopropanoic acid)-8-d-argininevasopressin. A synthetic analog of argipressin with longer lasting and more potent antidiuretic action than argipressin. It is used to treat diabetes insipidus. Pharmacological action: hypoglycaemic agents, renal agents. Chemical name: Vasopressin, 1-(3-mercaptopropanoic acid)-8-D-arginine- (12 Dec 1998) |
| desmosine | <cell biology> Component of elastin, formed from four side chains of lysine and constituting a cross linkage. (18 Nov 1997) |
| desmosome | <cell biology> Specialised cell junction characteristic of epithelia into which intermediate filaments (tonofilaments of cytokeratin) are inserted. The gap between plasma membranes is of the order of 25-30nm and the intercellular space has a medial band of electron dense material. Desmosomes are particularly conspicuous in tissues such as skin that have to withstand mechanical stress. Origin: Gr. Soma = body (18 Nov 1997) |
| desmosomes | A type of junction that attaches one cell to its neighbor. One of a number of differentiated regions which occur, for example, where the cytoplasmic membranes of adjacent epithelial cells are closely apposed. It consists of a circular region of each membrane together with associated intracellular microfilaments and an intercellular material which may include, for example, mucopolysaccharides.
