Descriptor Spanish: Masa Celular Interna del Blastocisto
Descriptor masa celular interna del blastocisto
Entry term(s) masa de células internas del blastocisto
masa interna del blastocisto
Scope note: Conjunto de células que se encuentran en el interior del blastocisto. Estas células dan lugar al disco embrionario y finalmente al embrión. Son CÉLULAS MADRE EMBRIONARIAS pluripotenciales con capacidad para diferenciarse en muchos, aunque no en todos, tipos celulares del organismo en desarrollo.
