Lineage


Definition:

  • (n.) Descent in a line from a common progenitor; progeny; race; descending line of offspring or ascending line of parentage.

  • (14) They seem likely to be useful in identifying functionally related subpopulations of neurons and describing neural cell lineages.
  • (15) Lymphoid tumors of a given lineage exhibit a spectrum of phenotypes from clones whose features overlap extensively with their normal counterparts to clones whose features are not obviously represented in normal lymphoid populations.
  • (16) LIF inhibits differentiation under several conditions which lead to endodermal and mesodermal cell lineages including skeletal and cardiac muscle.
  • (17) Only tumors of astrocytic lineage like astrocytomas and glioblastomas, or tumors of mixed lineage as oligo-astrocytomas and multipotential primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) expressed TNF-alpha-like immunoreactivity.
  • (18) These data provide evidence at the clonal level for the presence of precursors of the TCR alpha beta and TCR gamma delta lineages in the human TN thymocyte pool.
  • (19) Ep primarily acts on the marrow to stimulate the growth and maturation of early cells in the erythroid lineage that are known as the burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) and colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E).
  • (20) One method is to use acutely transforming retroviruses, which can transform B-lineage lymphocytes in vitro.

Offspring


Definition:

  • (n.sing. & pl.) That which is produced; a child or children; a descendant or descendants, however remote from the stock.
  • (n.sing. & pl.) The act of production; generation.
  • (n.sing. & pl.) Origin; lineage; family.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) No reversions to wild-type levels were observed in 555 heterozygous offspring of crosses between homozygous Campines and normals.

  • (10) Here we show that the subsequent survival and reproductive success of subordinate female red deer is depressed more by rearing sons than by rearing daughters, whereas the subsequent fitness of dominant females is unaffected by the sex of their present offspring.
  • (11) The residual values were positively correlated in parent-offspring pairs and among sibs, both those presumed to be living together and those presumed to be living apart.
