CFU-E
The term CFU-E (colony forming unit-erythroid ) denotes a hematopoietic stem cell in the bone marrow which eventually matures into a red blood cell (also called an erythroid cell). It arises from CFU-GEMM (via BFU-E, which stands for "erythroid burst-forming units" ) and gives rise to proerythroblasts.
