The National Library of Medicine (NLM), on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, is the world's largest medical library. The Library collects materials and provides information and research services in all areas of biomedicine and health care.
1) One of the two side by side replicas produced by chromosome replication in mitosis or meiosis. Subunit of a chromosome after replication and prior to anaphase of meiosis II or mitosis. At anaphase of meiosis II or mitosis when the centromeres divide and the sister chromatids separate each chromatid becomes a chromosome. (Biology-Text.com)
2) A chromatid is one of two identical halves of a replicated chromosome. During cell division, the chromosomes first replicate so that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes. Following DNA replication, the chromosome consists of two identical structures called sister chromatids, which are joined at the centromere.

1) one of three fundamental types (with paracrine and endocrine) of cellular regulation by intercellular diffusible factors, where the diffusible factor exerts a regulatory influence primarily on the same cell that secreted it.
2) Organ systems involved in self-stimulation through cellular production of a factor and a specific receptor for it.

1) One of various structurally related forms of an enzyme, each having the same mechanism but with differing chemical, physical, or immunological characteristics.
2) different form of the same enzyme, such as from another tissue or species, membrane-bound vs. soluble, secreted vs. intracellular, or oligomerized to a different degree.
3) Any of two or more chemically distinct but functionally similar enzymes -- called also isozyme.

1) Operations carried out for the correction of deformities and defects, repair of injuries, and diagnosis and cure of certain diseases. (Taber, 18th ed.)
2) A procedure to remove or repair a part of the body or to find out whether disease is present. An operation.

1) Oral tissue surrounding and attached to teeth.
2) The mucous membrane-covered tissue of the jaws that surrounds the bases of the teeth.
3) Of or relating to the gums.
Industry:Health care
1) Organic chemicals that form two or more coordination bonds with a central metal ion. Heterocyclic rings are formed with the central metal atom as part of the ring. Some biological systems form metal chelates, e.g., the iron-binding porphyrin group of hemoglobin and the magnesium-binding chlorophyll of plants. They are used chemically to remove ions from solutions, medicinally against microorganisms, to treat metal poisoning, and in chemotherapy protocols.
2) Any of various compounds that combine with metals to form chelates and that include some used medically in the treatment of metal poisoning (as by lead).
Industry:Health care
1) Organisms that have had genes from other species inserted into their genome.
2) One into which a cloned genetic material has been experimentally transferred, a subset of these foreign gene express themselves in their offspring.
3) Transgenic means that one or more DNA sequences from another species have been introduced by artificial means. Animals usually are made transgenic by having a small sequence of foreign DNA injected into a fertilized egg or developing embryo. Transgenic plants can be made by introducing foreign DNA into a variety of different tissues.
