I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'all clear for development around university lacking basic units' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'all clear for development around university' is the wordplay.
'for development' is an anagram indicator.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'all'+'clear'='allclear'
'allclear' with letters rearranged gives 'acelllar'.
'acelllar' enclosing 'u' is 'ACELLULAR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for acellular that I've seen is " not divided into compartments".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
