Definition

material entity with a material differentiation inducer role

Semi-Formal Definition:

every instance of ‘material differentiation inducer’ is defined as exactly an instance of ‘material functional inducer’ that ‘has role’ some ‘material differentiation inducer role’

Explanatory Notes

See the expanded definition under the corresponding role class. The term is formalized here as a defined class by referring to its corresponding role class and exists primarily for ontological modeling and implementation convenience.

Examples

• IL-7 and IL-15 solutions are used as differentiation inducers when added to CAR-T cell cultures to promote memory T-cell phenotype; Activin A is a differentiation inducer when added to human pluripotent stem cell cultures to direct differentiation toward definitive endoderm lineage
