Term Name: | negative regulation of cardioblast differentiation |
---|---|
Synonyms: | down regulation of cardioblast differentiation, down-regulation of cardioblast differentiation, downregulation of cardioblast differentiation, inhibition of cardioblast differentiation |
Definition: | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cardioblast differentiation, the process in which a relatively unspecialized mesodermal cell acquires the specialized structural and/or functional features of a cardioblast. A cardioblast is a cardiac precursor cell. It is a cell that has been committed to a cardiac fate, but will undergo more cell division rather than terminally differentiating. |
