Used in research to study the role of the cFMS receptor (colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor) in biological processes. It helps investigate macrophage differentiation, survival, and activation, which are important in inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. Commonly applied in cellular and molecular studies to block cFMS signaling pathways, aiding in the development of targeted therapies for conditions involving abnormal macrophage activity. Also utilized in preclinical models to assess potential treatment strategies for bone diseases, as cFMS plays a role in osteoclast function.
