onecellthick
Onecellthick is a term used primarily to describe a single-layer cellular arrangement, typically a monolayer of epithelial or endothelial cells. In biology and tissue engineering, monolayer culture refers to cells grown on a flat substrate that form a continuous sheet about one cell thick, providing a model for barrier function and transport studies.
Origin and scope: The term is a compound of "one cell thick" and is usually used descriptively
Applications: In cell culture, one-cell-thick monolayers are used to measure transepithelial electrical resistance and permeability. In
In culture and art contexts, onecellthick has appeared as a metaphor for fragility and clarity. It also
