Preferred Label : erythroid precursor cells;
MeSH definition : The cells in the erythroid series derived from MYELOID PROGENITOR CELLS or from the
bi-potential MEGAKARYOCYTE-ERYTHROID PROGENITOR CELLS which eventually give rise to
mature RED BLOOD CELLS. The erythroid 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.;
