Physiological Roles of Apoptotic Cell Clearance: Beyond Immune Functions

The clearance of apoptotic cells is known to be a critical step in maintaining tissue and organism homeostasis. This process is rapidly/promptly mediated by recruited or resident phagocytes. Phagocytes that engulf apoptotic cells have been closely linked to the release of anti-inflammatory cytokines...

description The clearance of apoptotic cells is known to be a critical step in maintaining tissue and organism homeostasis.

Defective clearance of apoptotic cells can cause severe inflammation and autoimmune responses due to secondary necrosis of apoptotic cells.
