Hello,
I need to use the adjective of a noun ‘tissue’. Could anyone tell me which one is right or more popular in American English? “Tissue’ or “tissular’? I believe is the ‘tissue’ but I am quite not sure about it.

Thank you in advance!

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.

Hi,

I need to use the adjective of a noun ‘tissue’. Could anyone tell me which one is right or more popular in American English? “Tissue’ or “tissular’? I believe is the ‘tissue’ but I am quite not sure about it.

In what context?
We speak of 'tissue paper', 'a tissue sample'. I've never heard the word 'tissular', although I see that it is in some online dictionaries, and gets some Google hits.

Best wishes, Clive

Yes, right. I meant e.g. body tissue. This is my sentence below.

'Changes in glutathione concentration were shown as sensitive indicators of tissular/tissue oxidative stress.'

Thx Clive
