Term Name: | negative regulation of hemocyte proliferation |
---|---|
Synonyms: | down regulation of hemocyte proliferation, down-regulation of hemocyte proliferation, downregulation of hemocyte proliferation, inhibition of hemocyte proliferation, negative regulation of arthropod blood cell proliferation |
Definition: | Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate or extent of hemocyte proliferation. Hemocytes are blood cells associated with a hemocoel (the cavity containing most of the major organs of the arthropod body) which are involved in defense and clotting of hemolymph, but not involved in transport of oxygen. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. |
