Aberrant T Cell Signaling and Subsets in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

TL;DR: A better understanding of the molecular defects including signaling events and gene regulation underlying the dysfunctional T cells in SLE is necessary to pave the path for better management, therapy, and perhaps prevention of this complex disease.

Identification of a factor that links apoptotic cells to phagocytes

TL;DR: Results indicate that milk fat globule-EGF-factor 8 secreted from activated macrophages binds to apoptotic cells, and brings them to phagocytes for engulfment.

C1q and Mannose Binding Lectin Engagement of Cell Surface Calreticulin and Cd91 Initiates Macropinocytosis and Uptake of Apoptotic Cells

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that C1q and mannose binding lectin (MBL), a member of the collectin family of proteins, bind to apoptotic cells and stimulate ingestion of these by ligation on the phagocyte surface of the multifunctional protein, calreticulin.
