Label Id Description
epithelial cell of exocrine pancreas CL_1001433 [An epithelial cell of the exocrine pancreas.]
tuft cell of thymus CL_4052034 [A tuft cell that is part of the medullary epithelium of the thymus, characterized by lateral microvilli and specific markers, including L1CAM in both mice (Zhang et al., 2022) and humans (Sun et al., 2023), as well as MHC II in mice (Miller et al., 2018). This cell is pivotal in immune functions such as antigen presentation, central tolerance, and type 2 immunity. A tuft cell in the thymus exhibits characteristics of both a medullary thymic epithelial cell (mTEC) and a peripheral tuft cell. Its development is governed by transcription factors such as POU2F3.]
medullary thymic epithelial cell CL_0002365 [An epithelial cell of the medullary thymus. This cell type expresses a diverse range of tissue-specific antigens. This promiscuous gene expression is a cell-autonomous property of medullary epithelial cells and is maintained during the entire period of thymic T cell output.]
tuft cell of submandibular gland CL_4052039 [A tuft cell that is part of the epithelium of the submandibular gland, localized to the striated ducts in mice, pigs, and humans, and to the main excretory ducts in rats. This cell is characterized by chemosensory functions, potential roles in immune regulation, and possible involvement in salivary secretion via acetylcholine release.]
epithelial cell of alimentary canal CL_0002251 [An epithelial cell of the musculomembranous digestive tube extending from the mouth to the anus.]
telencephalic song nucleus HVC UBERON_0035785 [A nucleus in the brain of songbirds located in the caudal nidopallium, projecting to the song motor pathway via the robust nucleus of the arcopallium and to the Anterior Forebrain Pathway via the basal ganglia nucleus Area X.]
tuft cell of nasal cavity respiratory epithelium CL_4052038 [A tuft cell that is part of the nasal cavity respiratory epithelium. Acting as a chemosensor, it detects bitter taste ligands and bacterial signals via taste receptors, maintaining epithelial-microbial homeostasis by stimulating antimicrobial peptide secretion from adjacent epithelial cells. This cell is a major source of IL-25, promoting type 2 immune responses and potentially contributing to chronic rhinosinusitis (O'Leary et al., 2019).]
tuft cell of nasal cavity CL_4052036 [A tuft cell that is part of the nasal cavity epithelium, located in both the respiratory and olfactory epithelia of the nose. This cell plays key roles in chemosensation, lipid mediator production, immune responses, and epithelial homeostasis.]
tuft cell of olfactory epithelium CL_4052037 [A tuft cell that is part of the olfactory epithelium, characterized by a globular body and the expression of neurogranin (Nrgn) in mice. This cell plays a crucial role in allergen recognition and regulating olfactory stem cell proliferation via TRPM5-dependent ATP sensing and cysteinyl leukotriene production. Unlike nasal respiratory tuft cells, it has low to absent expression of taste receptors, including the G protein Gα gustducin, and rarely contacts olfactory sensory neurons directly.]
olfactory epithelial cell CL_0002167 [A specialized cell involved in sensory perception of smell.]
epithelial cell of upper respiratory tract CL_0002631 [Any epithelial cell that is part of some upper respiratory tract epithelium.]
tertial remex feather UBERON_0011798 [A remex feather that is connected to the humerus.]
cavity of feather shaft UBERON_0011799 [An anatomical cavity that is part of a feather shaft.]
B cell chemotaxis GO_0035754 [The directed movement of a B cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis).]
prostate gland morphogenetic growth GO_0060737 [The differential increase in size or mass of the prostate gland that contributes to the gland attaining its form.]
prostate gland growth GO_0060736 [The increase in size or mass of the prostate gland where the increase in size or mass has the specific outcome of the progression of the gland, from its formation to its mature state.]
epithelial-mesenchymal signaling involved in prostate gland development GO_0060738 [Any process that results in the transfer of information from an epithelial cell to a mesenchymal cell where it is interpreted and contributes to the progression of the prostate gland over time.]
obsolete gross anatomical part of cerebral cortex UBERON_0023783
organ growth GO_0035265 [The increase in size or mass of an organ. Organs are commonly observed as visibly distinct structures, but may also exist as loosely associated clusters of cells that function together as to perform a specific function.]
mesenchymal-epithelial cell signaling involved in prostate gland development GO_0060739 [Any process that mediates the transfer of information from a mesenchymal cell to an epithelial cell where it is received and interpreted contributing to the progression of the prostate gland over time.]
