mononuclear
Having one nucleus
Mononuclear describes a cell having a single nucleus, as opposed to multinucleated cells.
In chemistry, it refers to a compound or complex containing one central metal atom.
The term appears most often in medical and scientific contexts: mononuclear cells, mononuclear phagocytes.
Infectious mononucleosis gets its name from the proliferation of mononuclear white blood cells.
