Human Macrophages Polarized by Interaction with Apoptotic Cells Produce Fibrosis-Associated Mediators and Enhance Pro-Fibrotic Activity of Dermal Fibroblasts In Vitro
Apoptosis and subsequent removal of dead cells are an essential part of wound healing. Macrophages phagocytize apoptotic cells (efferocytosis) and contribute to the resolution of inflammation. However, their participation in fibrogenesis and the mechanisms of influence on this process remain unclear...
