The M-CSF receptor (M-CSFR) is expressed in monocytes-macrophages and their
progenitors, and drives growth and development of this blood cell lineage. The M-CSFR is a
member of a small family of growth factor receptors exhibiting related structures but distinct
tissue-specific functions. This review discusses the early molecular events in the M-CSF
signaling mechanisms, positive signals, negative signals, the possible organization of
individual signaling pathways, and the problem of achieving specificity in the signal …
