Glioblast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A glioblast is a type of cell derived from neuroectoderm and with the ability to differentiate into several different types of neuroglia.

It is considered by some sources to be equivalent to "spongioblast"[1], while other sources consider them to be distinct entities.[2][3]
