Granular cell tumor Granular cell tumor, which was referred to historically as a granular cell myoblastoma, is a tumor that can develop on any skin or mucosal surface, but occurs on the tongue 40% of the time. Currently, it is believed that the affected cells are of neural origin.
Granular component (GC) The granular component of a cell's Nucleolus organelle appears to consist of small granules with a diameter of about 15 nm. They typically form a mass surrounding the fibrillar complexes and embed the fibrillar centers and dense fibrillar component.
Granular computing Granular computing is an emerging computing paradigm of information processing. It concerns the processing of complex information entities called information granules, which arise in the process of data abstraction and derivation of knowledge from information.
Granular material A granular material is a conglomeration of discrete solid, macroscopic particles characterized by a loss of energy whenever the particles interact (the most common example would be friction when grains collide). The constituents that compose granular material must be large enough such that they are not subject to thermal motion fluctuations.
Granularity Granularity is a measure of the size of the components, or descriptions of components, that make up a system. Systems of, or description in terms of, large components are called coarse-grained, and systems of small components are called fine-grained; here coarse and fine are descriptions of the granularity of the system, or the granularity of description of the system.

Granulite Granulites are metamorphic rocks that have experienced high temperatures of metamorphism. They typically have a granular (granoblastic) texture -- that is, a texture comprised of similarly sized and shaped grains -- and hence the name granulite.
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein, growth factor or cytokine produced by a number of different tissues to stimulate the bone marrow to produce granulocytes. It also stimulates the survival, proliferation, differentiation, and function of neutrophil granulocyte progenitor cells and mature neutrophils.
Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, often abbreviated to GM-CSF, is a protein secreted by macrophages that stimulates stem cells to produce granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) and macrophages. It is thus part of the immune/inflammatory cascade, whereby activation of a small number of macrophages produces more of them in circulation.
Granulocytosis In medicine, granulocytosis is the presence in peripheral blood of an increased number of granulocytes, a category of white blood cells. Often, the word refers to an increased neutrophil granulocyte count, as neutrophils are the main granulocytes.
Granuloma In medicine (anatomical pathology), a granuloma is a group of epithelioid macrophages surrounded by a lymphocyte cuff. Granulomas are small nodules that are seen in a variety of diseases such as Crohn's disease, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, berylliosis and syphilis.
