Megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor cell Information & Megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor cell Links at HealthHaven.com

The megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor cell (or MEP, or hMEP to specify human^[1]) is a cell that gives rise to megakaryocytes and erythrocytes.^[2]^[3]

It is derived from the common myeloid progenitor.^[4]
