| epidemiological genetics | The study of genetics as a phenomenon of defined populations by the criteria, methods, and objectives of epidemiology rather than of population genetics. (05 Mar 2000) |

| epidemiologist | A person skilled in epidemiology. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| epidemiology | <study> The study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states and events in populations and the control of health problems, the study of epidemic disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
| epidemiology, classical | The study of populations in order to determine the frequency and distribution of disease and measure risks. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidemiology, clinical | Epidemiology focused specifically upon patients. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidemiology, molecular | The application of molecular biology to the answering of epidemiological questions. The examination of patterns of changes in DNA to implicate particular carcinogens and the use of molecular markers to predict which individuals are at highest risk for a disease are common examples. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidemy | <medicine> An epidemic disease. Origin: Gr, fr., cf. F. Epidemie. See Epidemic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| epiderm | <anatomy> The epidermis. Origin: Cf. F. Epiderme. See Epidermis. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| epiderma | 1. <dermatology> The basal layer of the mammalian epidermis contains cells that undergo repeated divisions. The cells outwards from a particular basal cell are often derived from this cell or a nearby one so that columns of cells exist running outwards from the stem cell in the basal layer from which they were derived. Such columns of cells are referred to as proliferative units. 2. <biology> Outer epithelial layer of a plant or animal. May be a single layer that produces an extracellular material (as for example the cuticle of arthropods) or a complex stratified squamous epithelium, as in the case of many vertebrate species. (18 Nov 1997) |
| epidermal | Pertaining to or resembling epidermis. Also called epidermic or epidermoid. (18 Nov 1997) |
| epidermal cell | 1. Cell of epidermis in animals. 2. Plant cell on the surface of a leaf or other young plant tissue, where bark is absent. The exposed surface is covered with a layer of cutin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| epidermal cyst | Intradermal or subcutaneous saclike structure, the wall of which is stratified epithelium containing keratohyalin granules. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidermal growth factor | <growth factor> A mitogenic polypeptide initially isolated from male mouse submaxillary gland. The name refers to the early bioassay, but epidermal growth factor is active on a variety of cell types, especially but not exclusively epithelial. Human equivalent originally named urogastrone owing to its hormone activity. Acronym: EGF (18 Nov 1997) |
| epidermal growth factor receptor protein-tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> The catalytic protein-tyrosine kinase domain found on the cytoplasmic beta-portion of epidermal growth factor receptor. Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidermal growth factor-urogastrone | <chemical> Single chain, nonhelical, acidic polypeptides of about 52 amino acids found in most mammals. Epidermal growth factor and urogastrone are not identical but seem to share biological acivities. They promote growth of, and cell proliferation in, certain tissues, especially epidermal structures and inhibit acid secretion by the stomach. They have been used to treat gastrointestinal ulcers. Chemical name: Epidermal growth factor (12 Dec 1998) |
