part_of part of develops from neuron associated cell (sensu Vertebrata) glioblast (sensu Vertebrata) oligodendrocyte precursor cell 2010-11-10T02:51:34Z A progenitor cell of the central nervous system that can differentiate into oligodendrocytes or type-2 astrocytes. This cell originates from multiple structures within the developing brain including the medial ganglion eminence and the lateral ganglionic eminence. These cells migrate throughout the central nervous system and persist into adulthood where they play an important role in remyelination of injured neurons.
