The role of neutrophil apoptosis in influencing tissue repair

C J Sylvia. J Wound Care. 2003 Jan.

Abstract

Neutrophils and macrophages are involved in inflammation. Neutrophils debride the area of local contamination and then die (apoptosis) after being engulfed by macrophages. This is vital before the wound can move to the next stage of healing.
