13 years ago The vertebrate M cells are almost always called M cells in common usage. I would prefer changing the name to "M cell of gut" rather than "microfold cell."
However, I am open to argument here.

11 years ago Should double check and see if M cells are particular to a specific region.

consider swapping name and synonym:
[Term] id: CL:0000682 name: M cell namespace: cell def: "An absorptive cell of the gut epithelium that endocytoses microorganisms and intact macromolecules from the gut lumen and transports them to the subepithelial space where they are presented to antigen-presenting cells and lymphocytes." [GOC:jb, GOC:tfm] synonym: "M-cell" EXACT [] synonym: "microfold cell" EXACT [] xref: BTO:0003600 xref: FMA:62929 is_a: CL:0000066 ! epithelial cell is_a: CL:0000473 ! defensive cell is_a: CL:0000627 ! transporting cell is_a: CL:0002371 ! somatic cell
it's better to have more descriptive names (except in the case of T-cell, etc). Also renaming will avoid confusion with:
[Term] id: WBbt:0004489 name: M cell namespace: worm_anatomy def: "Postembryonic mesoblast" [ISBN:0-87969-307-X] synonym: "lineage name: MS.apaapp" [] is_a: WBbt:0006783 ! blast cell
