Common myeloid progenitors

Common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) are bone marrow progenitors committed to the myeloid lineage. They are derived from hematopoietic stem cells and can generate all myeloid blood cells: erythrocytes (red blood cells), megakaryocytes (platelets), mast cells, and the granulocyte-monocyte lineage (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, macrophages, and some dendritic cells). The CMP is a key intermediate in myeloid cell production.
