|
mitotic prometaphase
|
GO_0000236 |
[The cell cycle phase in higher eukaryotes which follows mitotic prophase and during which the nuclear envelope is disrupted and breaks into membrane vesicles, and the spindle microtubules enter the nuclear region. Kinetochores mature on each centromere and attach to some of the spindle microtubules. Kinetochore microtubules begin the process of aligning chromosomes in one plane halfway between the poles.] |
|
mitotic M phase
|
GO_0000087 |
[A cell cycle phase during which nuclear division occurs, and which is comprises the phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and occurs as part of a mitotic cell cycle.] |
|
leptotene
|
GO_0000237 |
[The cell cycle phase which is the first stage of prophase I in meiosis, and during which the chromosomes first become visible.] |
|
positive regulation of B cell mediated immunity
|
GO_0002714 |
[Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of B cell mediated immunity.] |
|
immunoglobulin mediated immune response
|
GO_0016064 |
[An immune response mediated by immunoglobulins, whether cell-bound or in solution.] |
|
multinucleated giant cell
|
CL_0000647 |
[A phagocytic cell formed by the fusion of macrophages, occurs in chronic inflammatory responses to persistent microorganism such as M.tuberculosis, component of granulomas. Sometimes used to refer to megakaryocytes.] |
|
chronic inflammatory response
|
GO_0002544 |
[Inflammation of prolonged duration (weeks or months) in which active inflammation, tissue destruction, and attempts at repair are proceeding simultaneously. Although it may follow acute inflammation, chronic inflammation frequently begins insidiously, as a low-grade, smoldering, often asymptomatic response.] |
|
granuloma formation
|
GO_0002432 |
[The formation of nodular inflammatory lesions, usually small or granular, firm, persistent, well-structured, and containing compactly grouped T lymphocytes and modified phagocytes such as epithelioid cells, giant cells, and other macrophages. Granuloma formation represents a chronic inflammatory response initiated by various infectious and noninfectious agents. The center of a granuloma consists of fused macrophages, which can become necrotic.] |
|
negative regulation of B cell mediated immunity
|
GO_0002713 |
[Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, or extent of B cell mediated immunity.] |
|
basal cell
|
CL_0000646 |
[Undifferentiated; mitotic stem cell for other epithelial cell types; rounded or elliptical with little cytoplasm and few organelles; contain cytokeratin intermediate filament.] |
|
epithelial fate stem cell
|
CL_0000036 |
|
|
pituicyte
|
CL_0000645 |
[A glial cell of astrocytic lineage with long processes running parallel to adjacent axons in the proximal infundibulum of the neurohypophysis. These processes form a three-dimensional network among the axons of the hypothalamic neurosecretory cells and are connected by gap junctions which provide for their metabolic coupling. This cell type constitutes most of the nonexcitable tissue in the neurohypophsis; function may include possibly acting as an intermediate in the modulation of oxytocin and vasopressin release. This cell type is highly variable in size and shape and commonly contain lipid droplets and deposits of lipochrome pigment.] |
|
prickle cell
|
CL_0000649 |
[A cell with delicate radiating processes known as desmosomes that form intercellular bridges between other cells of this type. This cell type forms the stratum spinosum (prickle cell layer). A function of this cell is to generate keratin.] |
|
stratum spinosum of epidermis
|
UBERON_0002026 |
[The layer of polyhedral cells in the epidermis found between the stratum granulosum and stratum basale; shrinkage and adhesion of these cells gives a spiny or prickly appearance.] |
|
kidney granular cell
|
CL_0000648 |
[A smooth muscle cell that synthesizes, stores, and secretes the enzyme renin. This cell type are located in the wall of the afferent arteriole at the entrance to the glomerulus. While having a different origin than other kidney smooth muscle cells, this cell type expresses smooth muscle actin upon maturation.] |
|
renin secretion into blood stream
|
GO_0002001 |
[The regulated release of renin into the blood stream by juxtoglomerular cells.] |
|
primary oocyte
|
CL_0000654 |
[A primary oocyte is an oocyte that has not completed female meosis I.] |
|
oogonial cell
|
CL_0000024 |
[An undifferentiated germ cell that proliferates rapidly and gives rise to oocytes.] |
|
epithelial cell of glomerular capsule
|
CL_1000450 |
[An epithelial cell that is part of the glomerular capsule.] |
|
glomerular visceral epithelium
|
UBERON_0005751 |
[The inner (visceral) layer of the renal glomerular capsule, overlying the capillaries, composed of podocytes, and separated from the outer (parietal) layer by the capsular (Bowman's) space[BTO]. This epithelial layer is superficially adjacent to the thickened glomerular basement membrane and is made of podocytes. Beneath the visceral layer lie the glomerular capillaries[WP]. This inner epithelial layer of the glomerular capsule surrounds the capillary endothelial cells and is composed of highly specialized epithelial cells (podocytes) that are separated by filtration slits; the inner visceral layer is separated from the outer parietal layer by the urinary space (also known as the Bowman's or capsular space)[MP].] |
