Une cellule progénitrice, qui est souvent confondue avec une cellule souche, est la progéniture précoce d'une cellule souche qui peut uniquement se différencier et ne peut plus se renouveler. Par contraste, une cellule souche peut se renouveler (production de davantage de cellules souches par division de la cellule) ou elle peut se différencier (division et, lors de chaque division cellulaire, elle concerne de plus en plus de types de cellules différents). 3, record 1, French, - cellule%20prog%C3%A9nitrice
