kohdesoluun

Kohdesoluun is the illative singular form of kohdesolu, a Finnish compound noun meaning “target cell.” A kohdesolu is the cell that is intended as the recipient or focal point of a biological process, such as a drug, signaling event, or immune response. The term is commonly used in biology, pharmacology and medicine to describe the cell that a treatment or interaction is directed toward.

In Finnish grammar, kohdesolu is a noun of two syllables; its illative singular form kohdesoluun is used to express movement toward or into the target cell. For example, Lääke kulkeutui kohdesoluun. The illative form is one of several case endings that convey direction or relation, and kohdesoluun specifically signals movement into the cell.

Kohdesoluun is frequently used in discussions of targeted therapies and cell biology. Phrases such as kohdesoluun suunnattu hoito (treatment directed at the target cell) or kohdesoluun kohdennettu lääke (drug targeted to the target cell) illustrate its application in pharmacology, oncology and research settings. The term helps specify the cellular focus of a process, mechanism, or intervention.
