Myeloid Progenitor Cells

Medical Definition: One of the two stem cells derived from HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS - the other being the lymphoid progenitor cell. Derived from these myeloid progenitor cells are the ERYTHROID PROGENITOR CELLS and the MYELOID CELLS (MONOCYTES and GRANULOCYTES).
Previously Indexed: Hematopoietic Stem Cells (1978-2000)
Myeloid Progenitor Cells Categories.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Erythroid Progenitor Cells - Committed, erythroid stem cells derived from MYELOID PROGENITOR CELLS. The progenitor cells develop in two phases: erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E) followed by erythroid colony-forming units (CFU-E); BFU-E differentiate into CFU-E on stimulation by ERYTHROPOIETIN, and then further differentiate into ERYTHROBLASTS when stimulated by other factors.
