What's the difference between coalescence and conglutination?
Coalescence
Definition:
(n.) The act or state of growing together, as similar parts; the act of uniting by natural affinity or attraction; the state of being united; union; concretion.
Example Sentences:

(7) The author describes the experiences, the series of "apprenticeships" and clinical exposures, which coalesced into his education, from teenage days in the New York Madison House settlement, through Harvard undergraduate and graduate work, to Worcester State Hospital as head of psychological services and research.
(8) Very young parasites lack the pigment but deposits of pigment appear and coalesce into dense deposits within the parasite as it grows.
(9) These occured as small beaded and larger coalescent masses which varied in metachromasia.
(10) The focal adhesions which are typical of the spread chick RPE cells in vitro consist of several closely apposed focal contacts, arranged in a parallel fashion, which are often coalesced with each other along their sides.
(11) The lesion begins with cytoplasmic vacuolar degeneration of the arterial smooth-muscle cells, which then progresses to coalescence of vacuoles, leading to disruption of the media, intramural hemorrhage, and periadventitial fibrin deposition.
(12) Four months postbiopsy the patient is asymptomatic but with the coalesced white plaques remaining.
(13) In 10- and 16-day grafts, continuity between ventricular and graft lumina was established and coalescence of graft pieces was apparent.
(14) These lesions, which may be smaller but often are larger than the iris lesions in conventional erythema multiforme, tend to coalesce into plaques and reveal a papulovesicular component at their periphery.
(15) Computed tomographic findings suggest the tumor begins as multiple hepatic nodules that grow and coalesce, forming large confluent masses preferentially involving the liver periphery.
(16) These findings, supported by simulation results, allow one to apply the theoretical results of the coalescence process directly to the allelic genealogy.
(17) This arose by the formation of large glycogen lakes, which coalesced and then lost their glycogen content, and this was accompanied by nuclear irregularity and shrinkage.
(18) Oil bodies isolated from mature maize (Zea mays) embryos maintained their discreteness, but coalesced after treatment with trypsin but not with phospholipase A2 or C. Phospholipase A2 or C exerted its activity on oil bodies only after the exposed portion of oleosins had been removed by trypsin.
(19) The ring-shaped elements of the RV and the moderately electron-dense material of the MDV were released exocytotically somewhat later; these materials coalesced in the perivitelline space to form a new coat (envelope 2).
(20) Following heated public debate over the issue of top-slicing the BBC licence fee, opinion at the broadcasters and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport is now coalescing around a less overt method of the corporation helping with Channel 4's future funding needs.
Conglutination
Definition:
(n.) A gluing together; a joining by means of some tenacious substance; junction; union.
Example Sentences:
(1) The amino acid sequence of the smaller subunit of conglutin gamma, the simplest of the three globulins from the seeds of Lupinus angustifolius cv.
(2) These were consistent with the existence of a multi-gene family coding for conglutin delta.
(3) Thus, despite the demonstration of tubal patency, the function of the rather delicate fimbria may be compromised by periadnexal adhesions, conglutinations, and hydatids so that only a fraction of those eggs that leave the ovary at ovulation reach the interior of the fallopian tube.
(4) Type 3 sera both directly conglutinated and sensitized sheep E-rabbit A for conglutination.
(5) The histological check-up demonstrated that neurotoxic side-effects were absent and there were no conglutinations with the dura.
(6) Since conglutination was shown to be inhibited specifically by N-acetylglucosamine [Leon, M.A.
(7) Conglutinin is a bovine plasma protein which mediates the agglutination of the sensitized erythrocyte-solid phase iC3b complex (conglutination).
(8) Proceeding from the latter the author suggests the test of the conglutinating complex fixation which proved to be effective in detection of antibodies inactive in the agglutination and complement fixation tests.
(9) If the sera that inhibit conglutination when diluted to 1: 40 or more are considered as reactive, the sensitivity of the test is 93.7% (six sera were anticomplementary).
(10) These lesions cause anoxic and necrotic damage of the parenchyma and, in certain cases, the appearance of serious haemorrhagic syndromes where the initial stage is the conglutination of the erytrocytes followed by disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome.
(11) Direct conglutinating activity of type 3 sera was inhibited by heating serum at 50 degrees C for 30 min and was not restored by alternative activation pathway factor B. Chelation of Ca2+ in type 2 and 3 sera blocked sensitization of sheep E-rabbit A for conglutination by bovine conglutinin, indicating that the classical activation pathway was involved.
(12) Measurement of the degree of cicatrization, determination of the free hydroxyproline in serum, and histological findings helped to demonstrate that local application of rifamycin SV leads to an increased fibrinous conglutination of the lips of the wound at an early phase of the healing process and the subsequent formation of fibres in the regenerative tissue is not impaired.
(13) The diagnosis of phimosis is often used for another nonobstructive conditions of prepuce--conglutination or tight prepuce.
(14) The structure of the precursor polypeptide for conglutin delta predicted from the cDNA sequence contained an N-terminal leader peptide of 22 amino acids directly preceding a subunit polypeptide of Mr 4520, together with a linking region of 13 amino acids and a subunit polypeptide of Mr 9558 at the C-terminus.
(15) The conglutinating complement fixation test was compared with the haemolytic complement fixation test for the detection of brucella antibodies in human sera.
(16) By means of the peritoneography it is possible to see incorrect punctures into the abdominal walls, into the intestine, into the retroperitoneal space, or into peritoneal conglutinations before the radiogold instillation.
(17) Further investigation of the ECA reaction using techniques to distinguish between conglutination and immunoconglutination indicated ECA to be a conglutination reaction.
(18) Despite these similarities, the MBP and conglutinin were immunochemically distinct, and the MBP did not show any conglutination activity.
(19) Anisoinotropism presents as the forerunner of the well known "contraction band degeneration-necrosis", by progressive coagulative denaturation of the contractile proteins, up to conglutination and cancellation of sarcomere structures.
(20) Immunization also elicited detectable circulating antibody titres, with IHA and the conglutinating complement absorption test having a tendency to be enhanced after the booster dose.
