Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Cellifugal

👉 Cellifugal refers to a type of genetic disorder that results from a mutation in the gene that encodes for the protein beta-actin, which is involved in the actin cytoskeleton. This mutation leads to a decrease in the density and rigidity of the cell membrane, causing it to become more permeable to water. This can lead to fluid accumulation in tissues and organs as well as a condition known as cellular hypoxia.
