What does melanoblast mean?
A melanoblast is a type of cell in the early stages of development of the nervous system and the melanocytes of the skin. It is a precursor cell that eventually differentiates into a melanocyte.
Example
"The melanoblasts in the embryo's skin began to differentiate into melanocytes, producing the pigment that would eventually give the skin its color."
