Preferred Label : Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells;
MeSH 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.;
