  A glioblast is a type of cell derived from neuroectoderm and with the ability to differentiate into several different types of neuroglia.
  
  It comes from a precursor (spongioblast). However, the latter may also differentiate into an ependymoblast.
  
  Glioblasts differentiate into astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Its tumor is called a glioblastoma, and is the most common type of central nervous system malignancy.
