In cell biology, precursor cells—also called blast cells—are partially differentiated, or intermediate, and are sometimes referred to as progenitor cells...

Precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia is a form of lymphoid leukemia in which too many B-cell lymphoblasts (immature white blood cells) are found in...

skeletal muscle cell is long and threadlike with many nuclei and is called a muscle fiber. Muscle cells develop from embryonic precursor cells called myoblasts...

Retinal precursor cells are biological cells that differentiate into the various cell types of the retina during development. In the vertebrate, these...

precursor protein (APP) is an integral membrane protein expressed in many tissues and concentrated in the synapses of neurons. It functions as a cell...

Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), also known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells, NG2-glia, O2A cells, or polydendrocytes, are a subtype of glia...

transform neuronal lineage cells much more efficiently than typical human kidney epithelial cells. An embryonic adrenal precursor cell therefore seems the most...

T cells derive their name from the thymus. After migration to the thymus, the precursor cells mature into several distinct types of T cells. T cell differentiation...

terminal differentiation, a precursor cell formerly capable of cell division permanently leaves the cell cycle, dismantles the cell cycle machinery and often...

expression of osteoblast cell markers such as alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin. In contrast, the mononuclear osteoclast precursor cells giving rise to multinucleated...

progenitor cells are precursor cells that differentiate into the functional pancreatic cells, including exocrine centroacinar cells, endocrine islet cells, and...

neutrophil-precursor band cells,: 84–84  thus signifying bandemia. Less commonly, left shift may also refer to a similar phenomenon in the red blood cell lineage...

(CFU-LSC) and the myeloid precursor (CFU-GEMM). The CFU-GEMM cell is capable of differentiating into white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets, all...

glial cell, non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system. They arise during development from oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), which can be identified...

B cells differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibody molecules closely modeled after the receptors of the precursor B cell. Plasma cells are...

recognizable cell. Next in the differentiation sequence is the monoblast and the promyelocyte, which can develop into one of three different precursor cells: the...

bone-marrow stem cell, but the specific defects responsible for these diseases remain poorly understood. Differentiation of blood precursor cells is impaired...
