Preferred term

Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • Neuroglial cells that first appear during mid-embryogenesis in the central nervous system of mammals and give rise to OLIGODENDROCYTES. Mitotically-active populations remain through late adulthood and are capable of regenerating MYELIN lost to disease or injury.
