erythropoiesis (medicine)


erythropoiesis
<haematology> Process of production of erythrocytes in the marrow in adult mammals.

A pluripotent stem cell (CFU) produces, by a series of divisions, committed stem cells (BFU Es) that give rise to CFU Es, cells that will divide only a few more times to produce mature erythrocytes. Each stem cell product can give rise to 2exp11 mature red cells.
