Cyproheptadine
Periactin® is an antihistaminic and antiserotonergic agent. It acts as a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist and also blocks calcium channels. It is used in the treatment of allergies and is also used to stimulate appetite in underweight people, however it also causes sedation. Sometimes it may be used to combat SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction, but is used cautiously in this manner due to the fact that it may reverse the effects of the SSRI.

Cysteine
Cysteine (abbreviated as Cys or C) is an a-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH2SH. It is a non-Essential amino acid amino acid, which means that humans can synthesize it. Its codons are UGU and UGC. With a thiol side chain, cysteine is classified as a hydrophilic amino acid.

Cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a common genetic disorder that affects the entire body, causing progressive disability and early death. Shortness of breath is the most common symptom and results from frequent pneumonia, which are treated, though not always cured, by antibiotics and other medications.

Cystine
Cystine is a conditionally non-essential crystalline, sulfur-containing amino acid. Amino acids are called non-essential when they are able to be manufactured by the body, but may be conditionally essential under certain circumstances or at certain stages of life. Cystine was discovered in 1810 but was not recognized as a component of proteins until it was isolated from the horn of a cow in 1899.

Cytidine
Cytidine is a molecule that is formed when cytosine is attached to a ribose ring via a -N1-glycosidic bond.
If cytosine is attached to a deoxyribose ring, it is known as a deoxycytidine.

Cytisus scoparius
Cytisus scoparius is a perennial, leguminous shrub native to northwestern Europe, where it is found in sunny sites, usually on dry, sandy soils. The common name, Broom, is also used generically for other related species.
It typically grows to 1-3 m tall, rarely 4 m, with main stems up to 5 cm thick, rarely 10 cm.

Cytogenetics
Cytogenetics is the study of the structure of chromosome material. It includes routine analysis of G-Banded chromosomes, other cytogenetic banding techniques, as well as molecular cytogenetics such as fluorescent in situ hybridization and comparative genomic hybridization.

Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm in a cell, which usually occurs immediately after nuclear division in mitosis.
Cytokinesis is necessary to ensure a constant chromosome number in each cell. In mitosis, the chromosome number doubles, resulting in there being two sets of chromosomes in just one cell.

Cytokinin
Cytokinins are a class of plant growth substances active in promoting cell division, and are also involved in Cell growth, cellular differentiation, and other physiology processes. Their effects were first discovered through the use of coconut milk in the 1940s.

Cytomegalovirus
see text
Cytomegalovirus, is a genus of Herpes viruses; in humans the species is known as Human herpesvirus 5. It belongs to the Betaherpesvirinae subfamily of Herpesviridae. The name means "cell very big virus".
CMV especially attacks salivary glands and may also be devastating or even fatal to fetuses.

Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm is a jelly-like material that fills Cell s. The cytoplasm consists of cytosol and the cellular organelles, except the cell nucleus. The cytosol is made up of water, salts, organic molecules and many enzymes that catalyze reactions. The cytoplasm plays an important role in a cell, serving as a "molecular soup" in which the organelles are suspended and held together by a fatty membrane.

Cytosine
Cytosine is one of the 5 main nucleobases used in storing and transporting genetics information within a cell in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA. It is a pyrimidine derivative, with a heterocyclic aromatic ring and two substituents attached . The nucleoside of cytosine is cytidine.

Cytosol
The cytosol is the internal fluid of the cell , and a portion of cell metabolism occurs here. Proteins within the cytosol play an important role in signal transduction pathways and glycolysis. They also act as intracellular receptor s and form part of the ribosomes, enabling protein synthesis.

Cytotoxic T cell
A cytotoxic T cell belongs to a sub-group of T cells which are capable of inducing the death of infection somatic or tumor cells; they kill cells that are infected with viruses, or are otherwise damaged or dysfunctional. Most cytotoxic T cells express T-cell receptors that can recognise a specific antigenic peptide bound to major histocompatibility complex molecules on an antigen presenting cell, and a glycoprotein called CD8, which is attracted to non-variabl
