Abstract excerpt
GM-CSF and M-CSF (CSF-1) can enhance macrophage lineage numbers as well as modulate their differentiation and function. Of recent potential significance for the therapy of inflammatory/autoimmune diseases, their blockade in relevant animal models leads to a reduction in disease activity. What the...
