sejtszövetszámra

Sejtszövetszámra is a Hungarian neologism roughly meaning "cell-tissue count." It is not a widely standardized term in mainstream biology and appears mainly in speculative, niche, or fictional contexts. The concept describes a hypothetical metric intended to quantify the organization and connectivity of cellular networks within a tissue, combining factors such as cell density, lineage relationships, and signaling interactions into a single scalar value.

In practice, a sejtszövetszámra would be derived from imaging and molecular data, with cells represented as nodes and interactions as edges in a network. The score would be computed by graph-based metrics that aim to capture tissue complexity, health, or developmental stage. Proponents argue that such a metric could facilitate comparisons of tissue samples, monitor regenerative therapies, or model developmental processes. Critics caution that tissue architecture is highly variable and context-dependent, and that a single number may oversimplify important biological nuances; robust definitions and standardization would be required.

The term also appears in science fiction and theoretical discussions as a conceptual tool for discussing tissue organization. In practical research, related approaches include cell counting, tissue imaging analysis, and network biology, but sejtszövetszámra itself remains informal and not universally adopted.
