Cell Transdifferentiation
|
D054338 |
[A naturally occurring phenomenon where terminally differentiated cells dedifferentiate to the point where they can switch CELL LINEAGES. The cells then differentiate into other cell types.

|
Cell Transformation, Neoplastic
|
D002471 |
[Cell changes manifested by escape from control mechanisms, increased growth potential, alterations in the cell surface, karyotypic abnormalities, morphological and biochemical deviations from the norm, and other attributes conferring the ability to invade, metastasize, and kill.
] |
|
Cell Transformation, Viral
|
D002472 |
[An inheritable change in cells manifested by changes in cell division and growth and alterations in cell surface properties. It is induced by infection with a transforming virus.

|
Cell Transplantation
|
D017690 |
[Transference of cells within an individual, between individuals of the same species, or between individuals of different species.
] |
|
Cell Wall
|
D002473 |
[The outermost layer of a cell in most PLANTS; BACTERIA; FUNGI; and ALGAE. The cell wall is usually a rigid structure that lies external to the CELL MEMBRANE, and provides a protective barrier against physical or chemical agents.

|
Cell Wall Skeleton
|
D017358 |
[A mucoprotein found in the cell wall of various types of bacteria. It has adjuvant and antitumor activities and has been used to augment the production of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells.

|
Cell- and Tissue-Based Therapy
|
D064987 |
[Therapies that involve the TRANSPLANTATION of CELLS or TISSUES developed for the purpose of restoring the function of diseased or dysfunctional cells or tissues.

|
Cell-Derived Microparticles
|
D055252 |
[Extracellular vesicles generated by the shedding of CELL MEMBRANE blebs.

|
Cell-Free Nucleic Acids
|
D000073888 |
[Nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) found circulating in SERUM; PLASMA; or other BODY FLUIDS.
] |
|
Cell-Free System
|
D002474 |
[A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology. (From Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2d ed, p166)

|
Cell-Matrix Junctions
|
D021982 |
[Specialized areas at the CELL MEMBRANE where a cell attaches to the EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX or other substratum.
] |
|
Cell-Penetrating Peptides
|
D057846 |
[Peptides that have the ability to enter cells by crossing the plasma membrane directly, or through uptake by the endocytotic pathway.
] |
|
Cell-in-Cell Formation
|
D057686 |
[The mechanisms by which a cell becomes internalized in another. The host cell may engulf another as do PHAGOCYTIC CELLS, or the host cell may be invaded by another cell (ENTOSIS), or internalization processes may involve the cooperation of both the host cell and the cell being internalized. Viable cells may remain in non-phagocytic cells (EMPERIPOLESIS), undergo cell division, pass through and then out of the host cell (TRANSCELLULAR CELL MIGRATION), or trigger APOPTOSIS of the invaded cell.

|
Cellobiose
|
D002475 |
[A disaccharide consisting of two glucose units in beta (1-4) glycosidic linkage. Obtained from the partial hydrolysis of cellulose.
] |
|
Cellophane
|
D002476 |
[A generic name for film produced from wood pulp by the viscose process. It is a thin, transparent sheeting of regenerated cellulose, moisture-proof and sometimes dyed, and used chiefly as food wrapping or as bags for dialysis. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed & McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)

|
Cells
|
D002477 |
[The fundamental, structural, and functional units or subunits of living organisms. They are composed of CYTOPLASM containing various ORGANELLES and a CELL MEMBRANE boundary.
] |
|
Cells, Cultured
|
D002478 |
[Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others.
] |
|
Cells, Immobilized
|
D018914 |
[Microbial, plant, or animal cells which are immobilized by attachment to solid structures, usually a column matrix. A common use of immobilized cells is in biotechnology for the bioconversion of a substrate to a particular product. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)

|
Cellular Apoptosis Susceptibility Protein
|
D029563 |
[A nucleocytoplasmic transport protein that binds to ALPHA KARYOPHERINS and RAN GTP BINDING PROTEIN inside the CELL NUCLEUS and participates in their export into CYTOPLASM. It is also associated with the regulation of APOPTOSIS and microtubule assembly.
] |
|
Cellular Microenvironment
|
D060833 |
[Local surroundings with which cells interact by processing various chemical and physical signals, and by contributing their own effects to this environment.
