  • Title: Apoptosis: conserved roles for integrins in clearance.
    Author: D'mello V, Birge RB.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2010 Apr 13; 20(7):R324-7. PubMed ID: 20392425.
    Abstract:
    A recent study shows that one of the two known Caenorhabditis elegans homologs of the mammalian integrin alpha subunit plays an essential role in the clearance of apoptotic cells - efferocytosis - during nematode development. These new findings reveal that integrins have evolutionarily conserved functions in efferocytosis in metazoans.
