In cytology, a precursor cell, also called a blast cell or simply blast, is a type of partially differentiated, usually unipotent cell
that has lost most or all of the stem cellmultipotency.
Usually a precursor cell is a stem cell which has the capacity to differentiate into only one cell types.
Sometimes precursor cell is used as an alternative term for unipotent stem cells.
A blastoma is a type of cancer created by malignancies of precursor cells.
In embryology, precursor cells are a group of cells that differentiate later into one organ.
The researchers turned these cells into neural precursor cells in a lab and then injected them into the site of patients' injuries. The goal is to have these cells then develop into neurons and glial cells, which support and protect neurons.
Each received a dose of neural precursor cells derived from reprogrammed stem cells—cells that began as adult tissue but were reverted into a stem-like state capable of transforming into neurons and glial cells.
