  • (20) Attachment of yeast cells both to human buccal and vaginal epithelial cells is reduced significantly if yeast cells are preincubated with fibronectin, a finding that indicates a possible role for fibronectin as the epithelial surface receptor for Candida.

Mesial


Definition:

  • (a.) Middle; median; in, or in the region of, the mesial plane; internal; -- opposed to lateral.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Thus, in approximately 80% of seizures, the onset of ictal EEG changes resided in the mesial temporal structures.
