Accumulate


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To heap up in a mass; to pile up; to collect or bring together; to amass; as, to accumulate a sum of money.
  • (v. i.) To grow or increase in quantity or number; to increase greatly.
  • (a.) Collected; accumulated.

  • (15) The data shows a dissociation between ferritin synthesis, cellular accumulation and secretion for which the mechanisms have still to be elucidated.
  • (16) The rate of accumulation was highest late in infection and only the slower migrating form incorporates significant amounts of glucosamine.
  • (17) Initiation of the alternative pathway by the cryptococcal capsule is characterized by a lag in C3 accumulation and the appearance of a limited number of focal initiation sites which resemble those observed when the alternative pathway is activated by zymosan and nonencapsulated cryptococci.
  • (18) Accumulating evidence indicates that for most tumors, the switch to the angiogenic phenotype depends upon the outcome of a balance between angiogenic stimulators and angiogenic inhibitors, both of which may be produced by tumor cells and perhaps by certain host cells.
  • (19) The aim of our experiments was to investigate firstly whether during an acute inflammatory process platelets accumulate in the inflamed area and secondly whether the inflammation has an effect on the properties of the platelets.
  • (20) The accumulated evidence would strongly favor an affirmative answer.
