Crithidia Luciliae

Crithidia luciliae is a flagellate parasitic excavates known to use the housefly Musca domestica as a host. As part of the family of Trypanosomatidae, they are characterised by the presence of a kinetoplast; a complex network of interlocking circular dsDNA molecules. The presence of this kinetoplast means they are important in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythamatosus (SLE).

Cross-Linked

Inter molecular bonds produced between long chain molecules in a material to increase molecular size by chemical or electron bombardment means, resulting in a change in physical properties in the material - usually improved properties.

Cross Link

A cross link is a bond that links one polymer chain to another. They can be covalent bonds or ionic bonds. "Polymer chains" can refer to synthetic polymers or natural polymers (such as proteins). When the term "cross-linking" is used in the synthetic polymer science field, it usually refers to the use of cross-links to promote a difference in the polymers' physical properties.

Closed Loop

In a control system, a type of control that has an input signal and a feedback of the result of the input signal which is used to modulate the input signal automatically.
