Mormon cricket
Mormon cricket (Anabrus simplex), a flightless shield-backed katydid of western North American sagebrush rangeland, not a true cricket; outbreak bands march up to 2 km/day, driven by protein hunger and cannibalism, and famously threatened the 1848 Salt Lake Valley crops.
Mormyridae
Mormyridae (elephantfishes) are African freshwater Osteoglossiformes, about 240 species, that generate weak electric organ discharges for electrolocation and electrocommunication, with species-specific EOD waveforms and large cerebellums.
Morning glory
Morning glory: common name for Convolvulaceae plants, especially Ipomoea vines with funnel-shaped flowers that wilt within hours. Includes sweet potato, hard-seeded dormancy, Mesoamerican ritual use, and many invasive weed species.
Morning glory disc anomaly
Morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA) is a rare congenital optic nerve malformation with a funnel-shaped, flower-like optic disc, usually affecting one eye and impairing vision.
Morning sickness
Morning sickness, or nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP), affects up to 70–85% of pregnant women, starts before 9 weeks, and usually resolves by 14–20 weeks; its severe form is hyperemesis gravidarum, linked to the hormone GDF-15.
Moro reflex
Moro reflex, also called the startle or embrace reflex (Umklammerungsreflex), is a primitive newborn reflex elicited by sudden head drop, with arm extension-abduction then flexion; it disappears by 2–5 months and signals clavicle fracture, brachial plexus palsy, or brain injury when absent or asymmetric.
Moroctocog alfa
Moroctocog alfa (ReFacto, ReFacto AF, Xyntha) is a B-domain-deleted recombinant factor VIII for hemophilia A, first approved in the EU in 1999, with an albumin-free AF-CC version approved in 2008.
Morone chrysops
Morone chrysops, the white bass (bar blanc), a North American freshwater temperate bass of the Mississippi system; silvery schooling game fish, single tongue tooth patch, IUCN Least Concern, parent of hybrid striped bass.
Morphea
Morphea (localized scleroderma, morphoea) is a rare autoimmune skin disease causing inflammation, fibrosis, and sclerosis of skin and sometimes deeper tissues, without internal organ involvement; subtypes include limited plaque, linear, and generalised forms, treated mainly with methotrexate and corticosteroids.
Morphine
Morphine, the principal opium poppy alkaloid isolated by Sertürner in 1803, is a mu-opioid receptor agonist and WHO essential medicine for severe pain, with major global access disparities and addiction risks.
Morpho menelaus
Morpho menelaus, the Menelaus blue morpho, is a Neotropical Nymphalidae butterfly with ~12 cm iridescent blue wings colored by Christmas-tree scale nanostructures, angle-dependent discoloration, and hydrophobic, biomimetic surfaces.
Morphoea
Morphoea, usually spelled morphea and also called localized scleroderma, is a chronic inflammatory disorder that thickens the skin and underlying tissue but, unlike systemic sclerosis, spares internal organs; it mostly affects children and women.
Morphogen
Morphogen: a signaling molecule forming a concentration gradient that gives cells positional information during embryonic development. Term coined by Turing (1952); French Flag model by Wolpert (1969); examples include Bicoid, Shh, Dpp, BMP, and Nodal.
Morphogenesis
Morphogenesis: the biological process by which organisms develop their shape, alongside cell growth and differentiation. Covers Turing morphogens, cell mechanics, adhesion, cortical tension, tissue folding, and organoid self-organization.
Morphology (biology)
Morphology, also called biological morphology, is the branch of biology that studies the form and structure of organisms. Coined by Goethe and Burdach in Germany, it spans body plans, cells, and tissues.
Morphology and anatomy of haircap mosses
Haircap mosses (Polytrichaceae) are a moss family whose leaves carry microscopic photosynthetic folds called lamellae, whose capsules open through solid unjointed teeth, and whose stems contain conducting tissue resembling simplified vascular tissue.
Morphology and reproduction of Cycas
Cycas is a genus of about 120 dioecious, palm-like cycads, unique among living cycad genera in bearing loose, leaf-like female megasporophylls rather than compact cones, alongside coralloid nitrogen-fixing roots.
Morphology of Diptera
The morphology of Diptera, the true flies, is the body structure of an order defined by a single wing pair and reduced hindwings called halteres, covering more than 154,000 described species.
Morphology of Trichogrammatidae
Morphology of Trichogrammatidae covers the body structure of minute parasitoid wasps in the superfamily Chalcidoidea, among the smallest of all insects at 0.16 to 1.1 mm.
Morquio syndrome
Morquio syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type IV, Morquio-Brailsford disease) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder affecting the skeleton; type A stems from GALNS deficiency, type B from GLB1, treated with elosulfase alfa ERT.
