Mesoderm
|
D008648 |
[Mesodermal tissue or tissue with mesodermal origin.
, It lies laterally to intermediate mesoderm.
, It lies next to the neural tube and will form SOMITES.
, The middle germ layer of an embryo derived from three paired mesenchymal aggregates along the neural tube.

Mesomycetozoea
|
D050298 |
[An order in the class MESOMYCETOZOEA whose members are pathogens of FISHES or of MAMMALS and BIRDS. Most produce uniflagellated zoospores.
, A class of parasitic and saprophytic microorganisms whose origins can be traced near the animal-fungal divergence. Members of the class are typically pathogens of FISHES, but there are exceptions. There are two recognized orders: Icthyophonida and Dermocystida.
, An order in the class MESOMYCETOZOEA whose members are pathogens of FISHES or are saprophytic.

Mesonephroma
|
D008649 |
[A rare tumor of the female genital tract, most often the ovary, formerly considered to be derived from mesonephric rests. Two varieties are recognized: (1) clear cell carcinoma, so called because of its histologic resemblance to renal cell carcinoma, and now considered to be of muellerian duct derivation and (2) an embryonal tumor (called also ENDODERMAL SINUS TUMOR and yolk sac tumor), occurring chiefly in children. The latter variety may also arise in the testis. (Dorland, 27th ed)

Mesonephros
|
D008650 |
[One of a pair of excretory organs (mesonephroi) which grows caudally to the first pair (PRONEPHROI) during development. Mesonephroi are the permanent kidneys in adult amphibians and fish. In higher vertebrates, proneprhoi and most of mesonephroi degenerate with the appearance of metanephroi. The remaining ducts become WOLFFIAN DUCTS.

Mesons
|
D008651 |
[Short-lived elementary particles found in cosmic radiation or produced from nuclear disintegration. Their mass is between that of protons and electrons and they can be negative, positive, or neutral. pi-Mesons (pions) are heavier than mu-mesons (muons) and are proposed for cancer radiotherapy because their capture and disintegration by matter produces powerful, but short-lived, secondary radiation.

Mesophyll Cells
|
D058503 |
[Upper layer of columnar elongated cells beneath and perpendicular to the upper epidermis and constituting the primary area of photosynthesis.
, Irregular chlorophyll-bearing mesophyll cells interspersed with air spaces.
, Large and highly vacuolated cells possessing many chloroplasts occuring in the interior cross-section of leaves, juxtaposed between the epidermal layers.

Mesopic Vision
|
D055255 |
[The function of the eye that is used in the intermediate level of illumination (mesopic intensities) where both the RETINAL ROD PHOTORECEPTORS and the RETINAL CONE PHOTORECEPTORS are active in processing light input simultaneously.

Mesothelioma
|
D008654 |
[A tumor derived from mesothelial tissue (peritoneum, pleura, pericardium). It appears as broad sheets of cells, with some regions containing spindle-shaped, sarcoma-like cells and other regions showing adenomatous patterns. Pleural mesotheliomas have been linked to exposure to asbestos. (Dorland, 27th ed)

|
Mesothelioma, Cystic
|
D018261 |
[A peritoneal mesothelioma affecting mainly young females and producing cysts of variable size and number lined by a single layer of benign mesothelial cells. The disease follows a benign course and is compatible with a normal life expectancy, requiring occasionally partial excision or decompression for relief of pain or other symptoms. Malignant potential is exceptional. (From Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1345)

|
Mesothelioma, Malignant
|
D000086002 |
[A type of mesothelioma with a tendency to metastasize. The majority of the tumors originate from either the PLEURA or PERITONEUM, but which may also orginate in the PERICARDIUM or testicular tissue. It is associated with ASBESTOS exposure. Somatic mutations identified in WT1, BCL10, CDKN2A, NF2, and BAP1 genes are associated with the malignancy. OMIM: 156240
