Saving Death: Apoptosis for Intervention in Transplantation and Autoimmunity by Alice Li, Okechukwu Ojogho, Alan Escher

“…Long considered immunologically “bland,” apoptotic cells are now recognized as important modulators of immune responses. The role of apoptosis in immunological homeostasis has been inferred from several findings, for example, induction of tolerance after injection of apoptotic cells and the capacity of APCs like macrophages and DCs to induce and maintain tolerance after phagocytosis of dead cells. …”
