This study shows that CSF1R-dependent macrophages are essential for hematopoiesis but many functions of tissue resident macrophages are redundant or strain-specific in mice.

This study examines the effects of a loss-of-function mutation in the rat Il34 gene on macrophage development, homeostasis, and inflammation in both the brain and periphery.

This study shows that Csf1r mutation in mice, rats, and humans causes developmental defects, and bone marrow transfer can reverse some phenotypes by restoring macrophages.
