In cell biology, precursor cells—also called blast cells—are partially differentiated, or intermediate, and are sometimes referred to as progenitor cells. A precursor cell is a stem cell with the capacity to differentiate into only one cell type, meaning they are unipotent stem cells .
blast-germinate or bud Greek βλαστός (blastós) blastomere: blephar(o)-of or pertaining to the eyelid Greek βλέφαρον (blépharon), eyelid blepharoplasty: brachi(o)-of or relating to the arm Latin bracchium, from Greek βραχίων (brakhíōn), arm brachium of inferior colliculus: brachy-indicating 'short' or less commonly 'little'
a-, an-: Pronunciation: /ə/, /a/, /ən/, /an/.Origin: Ancient Greek: ἀ-, ἀν-(a, an-). Meaning: a prefix used to make words with a sense opposite to that of the ...
The lymphoid cell development junctures to the right while the myeloid cell development junctures to the left side and below. Each cell that does not contain much in their cytoplasm represents a type of precursor cell. Each cell name is above each cell.
A comprehensive diagram of human hematopoiesis. Granulopoiesis consists of 5 stages, in which the myeloblast is the first recognizable cell. Next in the differentiation sequence is the monoblast and the promyelocyte, which can develop into one of three different precursor cells: the neutrophilic, basophilic or eosinophilic myelocyte.
Cytology of a precursor (blast) cell, with features often seen even after partial differentiation into any of the more specific cell types. Wright's stain. A blastoma is a type of cancer, more common in children, that is caused by malignancies in precursor cells, often called blasts.

A teloblast is a large cell in the embryos of clitellate annelids which asymmetrically divide to form many smaller cells known as blast cells. These blast cells further proliferate and differentiate to form the segmental tissues of the annelid. Teloblasts are well studied in leeches, though they are also present in the other major class of ...
