• term for a precursor cell that in low-density bone marrow cell cultures forms discrete colonies of adherent fibroblast-like BMSCs. The number of colonies formed per a definitive number of marrow cells plated (called CFE), thereby defines the CFU-F content among marrow cells, representing in vitro enumeration of a clonogenic subset of in vivo marrow stromal cell populations
