GM-CSF induces noninflammatory proliferation of microglia and disturbs electrical neuronal network rhythms in situ

Abstract Background The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) (or CSF-2) is involved in myeloid cell growth and differentiation, and, possibly, a major mediator of inflammation in body tissues. The role of GM-CSF in the activation of microglia (CNS resident macrophages) and the c...
