General Information
Term mesenchymal cell differentiation ID (Ontology) GO:0048762 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a mesenchymal cell. A mesenchymal cell is a loosely associated cell that is part of the connective tissue in an organism. Mesenchymal cells give rise to more mature connective tissue cell types.
