Hematopoiesis: MEP differentiates into megakaryocytes and erythrocytes.

Megakaryocyte/erythrocyte progenitor cells (MEPs), among other blood cells, are generated as a result of hematopoiesis, which occurs in the bone marrow. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can differentiate into one of two progenitor cells: the common lymphoid progenitor (CLP) and the common myeloid progenitor (CMP). MEPs derive from the common myeloid progenitor lineage.[1] MEPs must commit to becoming either platelet-producing megakaryocytes via megakaryopoiesis or erythrocyte-producing erythroblasts via erythropoiesis.[2][3] Most of the blood cells produced in the bone marrow during hematopoiesis come from MEPs.[4]

  1. Quality rating: The article is rated stub-class on the project’s quality scale and low-importance on the project’s importance scale.
    1. These ratings suggest that this article is a good candidate for editing.
  2. The sources are extremely outdated (2006, 2009).
    1. This means that the information within the article is likely outdated.
    2. Up-to-date, reliable articles will be used to update the information within the article.
  3. The article offers very limited information about megakaryocyte - erythroid progenitor cells.
    1. This article needs more detail and background information.
  4. Due to the lack of information, the article has no organization.
    1. When the article is edited, new information will be organized.
      1. It will contain an introductory section that provides a broad overview of the topic.
      2. It will also contain headings and subheadings all organized by certain topics relevant to the topic. The subtopics will not stray too far from the main topic at hand.
  5. The article contains only one image, and the one image it does contain is confusing and contains undefined abbreviations.
    1. The current image will be replaced with one that is easier for a broader audience of people to comprehend.
    2. Additional images will also be added. Images are a quick and easy way to understand material, so more images (to complement the additional material) could help improve the article significantly.
