| invasion | A term that should be used with caution, although most cell biologists would follow Abercrombie in meaning the movement of one cell type into a territory normally occupied by a different cell type, some pathologists might not agree. (18 Nov 1997) |
| invasion index | An index devised by Abercrombie & Heaysman as a means to estimate the invasiveness of cells in vitro. The index is derived from measurements on confronted explants of the cells and embryonic chick heart fibroblasts growing in tissue culture: it is the ratio of the estimated movement, had the cells not been hindered and the actual movement in the zone in which collision occurs. (18 Nov 1997) |
| sarcoma, endometrial stromal | A highly malignant neoplasm of the endometrium, arising from the endometrial stroma. It represents one type of stromal tumour, the other being endolymphatic stromal myosis. They are differentiated on the basis of the number of mitoses per 10 high power fields: endometrial stromal sarcoma has 10 or more mitoses, endolymphatic stromal myosis fewer. Stroma sarcoma is seen most often between the ages of 45 and 50. (devita jr et al., cancer: principles & practice of oncology, 3d ed, p1146) (12 Dec 1998) |
| sex cord-stromal tumour | A malignant neoplasm of the ovary or testis. These tumours differentiate toward sex cords (in embryonic gonads) in the form of female (i.e., granulosa and theca) cells, male (i.e., sertoli and leydig) cells, or indifferent elements. In the ovary, sex cord-stromal tumours comprise 5% of all ovarian neoplasms. In the testes, leydig and sertoli cell tumours comprise about 5% of all testicular neoplasms, 10% of which behave in a malignant fashion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stromal | Stromatic; relating to the stroma of an organ or other structure. Synonym: stromic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stromal cells | Connective tissue cells of an organ found in the loose connective tissue. These are most often associated with the uterine mucosa and the ovary as well as the haematopoietic system and elsewhere. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stromal hyperthecosis | Condition in which luteinised cells are present in ovarian stroma at a distance from follicular structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stromal processing peptidase | <enzyme> Involved in processing chloroplast stromal proteins Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| ovarian stromal tumours | <radiology> Age 20 - 50 yrs, 20% of all ovarian tumours, fibroma / fibrosarcoma, granulosa-theca cell tumour, with or without oestrogens most likely to be precocious puberty, endometrial hyperplasia/carcinoma, fibrocystic breast disease, Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour, aka: arrhenoblastoma, with or without androgens most likely to be masculinization, may be mixed type (12 Dec 1998) |
| endometrial stromal sarcoma | <tumour> A term sometimes used for a relatively rare sarcoma believed to be a form of endometriosis in which the lesions form multiple foci in the myometrium and in vascular spaces in other sites, and which consist of histologic and cytologic elements that resemble those of the endometrial stroma. Synonym: stromatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenovirus early proteins | <molecular biology, protein, virology> Proteins encoded by adenoviruses that are synthesised prior to, and in the absence of, viral DNA replication. The proteins are involved in both positive and negative regulation of expression in viral and cellular genes, and also affect the stability of viral mRNA. Some are also involved in oncogenic transformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, immediate-early | Genes that show rapid and transient expression in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. The term was originally used exclusively for viral genes where immediate-early referred to transcription immediately following virus integration into the host cell. It is also used to describe cellular genes which are expressed immediately after resting cells are stimulated by extracellular signals such as growth factors and neurotransmitters. (12 Dec 1998) |
| history of medicine, early modern | The period of the history of medicine from 1451 through 1600 a.d. History of medicine, 15th cent. And history of medicine, 16th cent. Are also available. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immediate early gene | Class of genes whose expression is low or undetectable in quiescent cells, but whose transcription is activated within minutes after extracellular stimulation such as addition of a growth factor. C fos and c myc proto-oncogenes were among the first IEG's to be identified. Many IEG's encode transcription factors and therefore have a regulatory function. (18 Nov 1997) |
