CFU-GEMM is a colony forming unit that generates myeloid cells.
CFU-GEMM cells are multipotential progenitor cells.[1][2]
The "GEMM" stands for ""granulocyte, erythrocyte, monocyte, megakaryocyte".[3]
CFU-GEMM gives rise to CFU-GM.
It has been suggested that eosinophils do not derive from the common myeloid progenitor.[4]
