A precursor cell is also known as a progenitor cell. These cells are known as the intermediate cell before they become differentiated after being a stem cell.

Precursor cells, or Progenitor cells, have many potential uses in medicine. There is research being done to use these cells to build heart valves, blood vessels and other tissues, by using blood and muscle precursor, or progenitor cells.

Precursor is a somewhat generic term. There are many forms of precursor cells, because every cell made there is a precursor to that cell.
