All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Glucose Transport Inhibition	NCIT_C40812	[Glucose Transport Inhibition involves interference with, or restraint of, subcellular or molecular processes directly involved in the physical translocation from one site or compartment to another (typically, extracellular to intracellular) of the simple C6H12O6 monosaccharide, glucose, that acts as an energy source for cells.]
Iodine Uptake Alteration	NCIT_C40813	[A finding indicating a deficiency or excess in biological absorption or assimilation of iodine.]
Tissue Resources	NCIT_C15858
Trace Element Nutrition, Fluorides	NCIT_C15859	[Studies of the role of the trace element fluoride, obtained through diet, on general health]
Vitamin Uptake Alteration	NCIT_C40815	[A finding indicating a deficiency or excess in absorption or assimilation of one or more vitamins.]
Multidrug Resistance Induction	NCIT_C40817	[Multidrug Resistance Induction involves initiation of activities of biologic molecules or complexes involved in processes that increase the ability of cancer cells to counteract, defeat, or withstand the effects of multiple chemotherapeutic agents. Mechanisms involve expression of multidrug efflux pumps (p-glycoprotein), altered glutathione metabolism, decreased topoisomerase II activity, and changes in various cellular proteins.]
Multidrug Resistance Inhibition	NCIT_C40818	[Multidrug Resistance Inhibition involves interference with, or restraint of, the activities of biologic molecules or complexes involved in processes that increase the ability of cancer cells to counteract, defeat, or withstand the effects of multiple chemotherapeutic agents. Mechanisms involve decreased expression of multidrug efflux pumps (p-glycoprotein), altered glutathione metabolism, increased topoisomerase II activity, and changes in various cellular proteins. Inhibition results in increased transport of drug into, or decreased transport out of, cells and increased effectiveness of chemotherapeutic agents.]
Trace Element Nutrition, Mercury	NCIT_C15860	[Studies of the role of the trace element mercury, obtained through diet, on general health]
Trace Element Nutrition, Other	NCIT_C15861
Translational Research	NCIT_C15862	[Studies designed to translate basic science findings into clinically useful tools and applications and to ensure that new treatments and research knowledge reach the patients or populations for whom they are intended and are implemented correctly.]
Cancer Biobank	NCIT_C15863	[A repository of biospecimens - including tissue samples, fluids such as blood, serum and urine, and molecular derivatives such as DNA, RNA and proteins pertaining to cancer research. The repository has stringent guidelines regarding the standardized collection, handling, storage and documentation of biological specimens. These guidelines enable an extensive system for specimen storage that allows for the accurate establishment of disease incidences over long periods of time.]
Clinical Trial	NCIT_C71104	[A research study that prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects on health outcomes.]
Vaccine Design and Animal Testing	NCIT_C15865	[Apply findings from basic, epidemiologic, and clinical research to the design and evaluation of vaccine strategies in laboratory studies and animal models, and foster collaboration with industry in the research and development of candidate vaccines.]
Vaccine Development, AIDS	NCIT_C15866	[Vaccines or candidate vaccines containing inactivated HIV or some of its component antigens and designed to prevent AIDS. Some vaccines containing antigens are recombinantly produced.]
Intercellular Transport Process	NCIT_C40801	[Any cellular process involved in translocation of substances into or out of a cell.]
Vaccine Development, Other Non-AIDS	NCIT_C15867
Vaccine Related Development, AIDS	NCIT_C15868
Endocytosis Induction	NCIT_C40803	[Endocytosis Induction involves initiation of cellular uptake of extracellular materials within membrane-limited vacuoles or microvesicles by invagination of the plasma membrane.]
Vaccine Related Development, Cancer	NCIT_C15869
Phagocytosis Induction	NCIT_C40804	[Phagocytosis Induction involves initiation of the process of endocytosis of particulate material by phagocytes, such as microorganisms or cellular fragments and debris, into membranous phagosomes that fuse with lysosmes and result in digestion of the ingested material; an important defense against infection.
