    Macrophage activation is a key determinant of susceptibility and pathology in a variety of inflammatory diseases. The extent of macrophage activation is tightly regulated by a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IFN-gamma, IL-2, GM-CSF, IL-3) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-4, IL-10, TGF-beta). Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1/M-CSF) is a key differentiation, growth and survival factor for monocytes/macrophages and osteoclasts. The role of this factor in regulating macrophage activation is often overlooked. This review will summarize our current understanding of the effects of CSF-1 on the activation state of mature macrophages and its role in regulating immune responses.

    All links from this record

    • Related Articles

      Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.

    • Gene

      Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.

    • Gene (GeneRIF)

      Gene records that have the current articles as Reference into Function citations (GeneRIFs). NLM staff reviewing the literature while indexing MEDLINE add GeneRIFs manually.

    • HomoloGene

      HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.

    • Nucleotide (RefSeq)

      NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.

    • Nucleotide (Weighted)

      Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

    • Protein (RefSeq)

      NCBI protein Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.

    • Protein (Weighted)

      Protein records associated with the current articles through related Gene database records. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

    • Substance (MeSH Keyword)

      PubChem chemical substance (submitted) records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.

    • Taxonomy via GenBank

      Taxonomy records associated with the current articles through taxonomic information on related molecular database records (Nucleotide, Protein, Gene, SNP, Structure).

    • UniGene

      UniGene clusters of expressed sequences that are associated with the current articles through references on the clustered sequence records and related Gene records.

    • GEO Profiles

      Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Profiles of molecular abundance data. The current articles are references on the Gene record associated with the GEO profile.
