    Glossary Melanoblasts

    precursor cells that develop into melanin-producing melanocytes

    Melanoblasts are precursor cells that develop into melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that gives color to our skin, hair, and eyes. These cells originate from the neural crest during embryonic development and migrate to various parts of the body where they differentiate into melanocytes.
