myeloid
From bone marrow
Myeloid refers to bone marrow or cells derived from it.
In medicine and biology, myeloid cells are a lineage of blood cells—including red blood cells, platelets, and most white blood cells—that originate in bone marrow: myeloid leukemia, myeloid tissue.
The term contrasts with lymphoid, which describes a different cell lineage.
