Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

The commitment of cells to specific cell fates and their capacity to differentiate into particular kinds of cells. Positional information is established through protein signals that emanate from a localized source within a cell (the initial one-cell zygote) or within a developmental field. Process involved in cell fate commitment. Once determination has taken place, a cell becomes committed to differentiate down a particular pathway regardless of its environment. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a glial cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a glial cell. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a glial cell.
