Colony stimulating factor-1 is required to recruit macrophages into the mammary gland to facilitate mammary ductal outgrowth.

Developmental biology - 1 Jul 2002

Van Nguyen Andrew, Pollard Jeffrey W

Abstract excerpt

Mammary gland development initiates postnatally with the development of terminal end buds (TEBs) at the end of the rudimentary ducts. These grow out through the fat pad and bifurcate to lay down the rudimentary ductal tree. At the initiation of their development, TEBs recruit to their surrounding stroma a substantial population of macrophages. Using mice homozygous for a null mutation in the gene for the...
