abstract：:We reported previously that stem cell factor (SCF) is produced mainly by neurons and that its receptor (c-kitR), encoded by the protooncogene c-kit, is expressed in microglia, suggesting that SCF/c-kitR signaling may be involved in neuron-microglia interactions. We now report that SCF supports microglial survival in c...
