[astroblast]
This designation pertains to cells derived from neuroectoderm that represent proliferating and motile immature astrocytes. Together with oligodendroblasts they constitute the majority of the dividing cells at the time during embryonic development when astrocytes and oligodendrocytes are being generated. These cells, together with some other precursor cell types, are likely all derived from earlier appearing stem cells and segregate at different stages in development. (Skoff and Knapp, 1991; Liu and Rao, 2004).
