Chemokines act as phosphatidylserine-bound "find-me" signals in apoptotic cell clearance.
Removal of apoptotic cells is essential for maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Chemotactic cues termed "find-me" signals attract phagocytes toward apoptotic cells, which selectively expose the anionic phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) and other "eat-me" signals to distinguish...
