MeSH Heading: Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells
Tree Number(s): A08.637.550; A11.650.550; A11.872.653.500
Unique ID: D000073637
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000073637
Scope Note: 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.
Entry Term(s): Oligodendrocyte Precursors; Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells; Oligodendrocyte Progenitors; Pre-Oligodendrocytes; Preoligodendrocytes
