  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013314",
  "term": "Myoblast",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of embryonic progenitor cell that differentiates and fuses to form multinucleated muscle fibers, a process known as myogenesis. These mononucleated, spindle-shaped cells are the building blocks of muscle tissue during embryonic development and subsequent growth or repair. In adults, a population of quiescent myoblasts, known as satellite cells, is retained for muscle regeneration.",
