Cryobiology
|
D000073920 |
[The study of biological materials or systems subjected to temperatures below their normal range.
] |
|
Cryoelectron Microscopy
|
D020285 |
[Electron microscopy involving rapid freezing of the samples. The imaging of frozen-hydrated molecules and organelles permits the best possible resolution closest to the living state, free of chemical fixatives or stains.
] |
|
Cryogels
|
D059985 |
[Macroporous hydrogels that are produced at subzero temperatures. Cryogels have pores that are produced by growing ice crystals and have been developed with a tissue-like elasticity that is suitable for cell immunization experiments.

|
Cryoglobulinemia
|
D003449 |
[A condition characterized by the presence of abnormal quantities of CRYOGLOBULINS in the blood. Upon cold exposure, these abnormal proteins precipitate into the microvasculature leading to restricted blood flow in the exposed areas.
] |
|
Cryoglobulins
|
D003450 |
[Abnormal immunoglobulins, especially IGG or IGM, that precipitate spontaneously when SERUM is cooled below 37 degrees Celsius. It is characteristic of CRYOGLOBULINEMIA.

|
Cryopreservation
|
D015925 |
[Preservation of cells, tissues, organs, or embryos by freezing. In histological preparations, cryopreservation or cryofixation is used to maintain the existing form, structure, and chemical composition of all the constituent elements of the specimens.

|
Cryoprotective Agents
|
D003451 |
[Substances that provide protection against the harmful effects of freezing temperatures.

|
Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes
|
D056587 |
[A group of rare autosomal dominant diseases, commonly characterized by atypical URTICARIA (hives) with systemic symptoms that develop into end-organ damage. The atypical hives do not involve T-cell or autoantibody. Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome includes three previously distinct disorders: Familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome; Muckle-Wells Syndrome; and CINCA Syndrome, that are now considered to represent a disease continuum, all caused by NLRP3 PROTEIN mutations.

Cryosurgery
|
D003452 |
[The use of freezing as a special surgical technique to destroy or excise tissue.
] |
|
Cryotherapy
|
D017679 |
[A form of therapy consisting in the local or general use of cold. The selective destruction of tissue by extreme cold or freezing is CRYOSURGERY. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)

|
Cryoultramicrotomy
|
D016616 |
[The technique of using a cryostat or freezing microtome, in which the temperature is regulated to -20 degrees Celsius, to cut ultrathin frozen sections for microscopic (usually, electron microscopic) examination.
] |
|
Cryptocarya
|
D031369 |
[A plant genus of the family LAURACEAE. Members contain cryptofolione, caryachine, grandisin and other compounds. Some PEUMUS species have been reclassified as CRYPTOCARYA.
] |
|
Cryptochromes
|
D056931 |
[Flavoproteins that function as circadian rhythm signaling proteins in ANIMALS and as blue-light photoreceptors in PLANTS. They are structurally-related to DNA PHOTOLYASES and it is believed that both classes of proteins may have originated from an earlier protein that played a role in protecting primitive organisms from the cyclical exposure to UV LIGHT.

Cryptococcosis
|
D003453 |
[Infection with a fungus of the CRYPTOCOCCUS species.
] |
|
Cryptococcus
|
D003454 |
[A mitosporic Tremellales fungal genus whose species usually have a capsule and do not form pseudomycellium. Teleomorphs include Filobasidiella and Fidobasidium.
] |
|
Cryptococcus gattii
|
D056285 |
[A species of the fungus CRYPTOCOCCUS. Its teleomorph is Filobasidiella bacillispora.

|
Cryptococcus neoformans
|
D003455 |
[A species of the fungus CRYPTOCOCCUS. Its teleomorph is Filobasidiella neoformans.

|
Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia
|
D018549 |
[An interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology, occurring between 21-80 years of age. It is characterized by a dramatic onset of a "pneumonia-like" illness with cough, fever, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. Pathological features include prominent interstitial inflammation without collagen fibrosis, diffuse fibroblastic foci, and no microscopic honeycomb change. There is excessive proliferation of granulation tissue within small airways and alveolar ducts.

Cryptolepis
|
D031106 |
[A plant genus of the family ASCLEPIADACEAE. Members contain the alkaloids quindoline, CSA-3, cryptolepine, and neocryptolepine.

|
Cryptomeria
|
D032485 |
[A plant genus of the family CUPRESSACEAE which produce POLLEN that is a major ALLERGEN.
