[osteoblastic colony-forming units; osteoblast colony-forming cells; osteoblastic colony-forming cells] These cells are being referred to also as CFU-OB. The cells are being referred to also as CFU-AP or CFU-ALP (AP and ALP standing for alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme expressed by osteoblasts. The number al cells expressing alkaline phosphatase is believed to reflect the number of osteoblastic progenitor cells (Dimai et al, 1998). Alkaline phosphatase expressing cells are contained within a population of cells defined as CFU-F [
