  2. Immunoglobulin light chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_light_chain

    If the lymph node or similar tissue is reactive, or otherwise benign, it should possess a mixture of kappa positive and lambda positive cells. If, however, one type of light chain is significantly more common than the other, the cells are likely all derived from a small clonal population, which may indicate a malignant condition, such as B-cell ...

  3. Cell polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_polarity

    Epithelial cells also exhibit planar cell polarity, in which specialized structures are orientated within the plane of the epithelial sheet. Some examples of planar cell polarity include the scales of fish being oriented in the same direction and similarly the feathers of birds, the fur of mammals, and the cuticular projections (sensory hairs ...

  4. Lambda2 method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda2_method

    The Lambda2 method, or Lambda2 vortex criterion, is a vortex core line detection algorithm that can adequately identify vortices from a three-dimensional fluid velocity field. [1] The Lambda2 method is Galilean invariant , which means it produces the same results when a uniform velocity field is added to the existing velocity field or when the ...

  5. OLIG2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLIG2

    OLIG2 is well recognized for its importance in cancer research, particularly in brain tumors and leukemia.OLIG2 is universally expressed in glioblastoma and other diffuse gliomas (astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas and oligoastrocytomas), and is a useful positive diagnostic marker of these brain tumors. [13]

  6. Hyperpolarization (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperpolarization_(biology)

    Hyperpolarization is a change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative. Cells typically have a negative resting potential, with neuronal action potentials depolarizing the membrane. When the resting membrane potential is made more negative, it increases the minimum stimulus needed to surpass the needed threshold.

  7. Epithelial polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelial_polarity

    Epithelial polarity is one example of the cell polarity that is a fundamental feature of many types of cells. Epithelial cells feature distinct 'apical', 'lateral' and 'basal' plasma membrane domains. Epithelial cells connect to one another via their lateral membranes to form epithelial sheets that line cavities and surfaces throughout the ...

  8. Physiological psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiological_psychology

    Physiological psychology studies many topics relating to the body's response to a behavior or activity in an organism. [3] It concerns the brain cells, structures, components, and chemical interactions that are involved in order to produce actions. [4]

  9. TUNEL assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUNEL_assay

    TUNEL is a method for detecting apoptotic DNA fragmentation, widely used to identify and quantify apoptotic cells, or to detect excessive DNA breakage in individual cells. [3] The assay relies on the use of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), an enzyme that catalyzes attachment of deoxynucleotides, tagged with a fluorochrome or another ...
