During development, stress, infection, or normal homeostasis, billions of cells
die on a daily basis, and the responsibility of clearing these cellular corpses
lies with the phagocytes of innate immune system. This process, termed
efferocytosis , is critical for the prevention of inflammation and autoimmunity ,
as well as modulation of the adaptive immune response. Defective clearance of
dead cells is characteristic of many human autoimmune or autoinflammatory
disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), atherosclerosis, and
diabetes. The mechanisms that phagocytes employ to sense, engulf, and process
dead cells for an appropriate immune response have been an area of great
interest. However, insight into novel mechanisms of programmed cell death , such
as necroptosis, has shed light on the fact that while the diner (or phagocyte) is
important, the meal itself (the type of dead cell) can play a crucial role in
shaping the pursuant immune response.
