A progenitor cell is a cell type that, like a stem cell, has a tendency to differentiate into a specific type of cell, but is already more specific than a stem cell and is pushed to differentiate ...
The neural tube is the precursor to the central nervous system of the vertebrate embryo, which comprises the brain and the spinal cord. The neural groove gradually deepens as the neural folds ...
Neuroblasts represent the last stage of precursor cell development before cells exit the cell cycle and assume their identity as neurons. Proliferation of these cells is more limited, although ...
Neuroepithelial cells are the "stem cells" of the nervous system, deriving from actual stem cells in several different stages of neural development. These neural stem cells then differentiate further ...
A neuron is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals. A chemical signal occurs via a synapse, a specialized connection with ...
In developmental biology, cellular differentiation is the process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type. Neuronal differentiation means the acquisition of specific ...
The oligodendrocyte or oligodendroglia is a type of cell in the central nervous system (CNS). The oligodendrocytes surround and insulate the long fibers (axons) through which the nerves send their ...
