Abstract
Efferocytosis, the process by which dying or dead cells are removed by phagocytes, is essential to tissue homeostasis. However, how these "death eaters" or efferocytes coordinate phagocytosis with their immune function is incompletely understood. In this issue, Zhang et al. (2018) reveal how metabolic signaling drives the anti-inflammatory responses of efferocytes to promote wound healing.
