Efferocytosis is the process by which phagocytes recognize, engulf, and degrade dying cells before they undergo secondary necrosis. Clearance of apoptotic cells is the most typical form of efferocytosis and involves phagocyte recruitment, phosphatidylserine recognition, phagocytic receptor ...
The PLSCR family is commonly used to study changes in membrane phospholipid asymmetry, phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization, cell death, platelet procoagulant activation, and inflammatory stress responses. In experiments, PLSCR expression changes, membrane localization changes, PS ...
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an important anionic phospholipid in cell membranes. Any discussion of PS should begin with a clear view of its positional state within membranes. In discussions of plasma membrane lipid asymmetry, PS under steady-state conditions is located predominantly on the ...
