Complexity in uterine macrophage responses to cytokines in mice.

Abstract excerpt

Uterine stromal macrophages change dramatically in density and morphology through the estrous cycle and during early pregnancy, whereas those in the mesometrial triangle do not undergo these changes. The mononuclear phagocytic growth factor, colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1), regulates both the density and morphology of uterine macrophage populations, as shown by the fact that uterine macrophages are depleted...
