Functional roles of ApoBDs in cell clearance. ApoBDs recruit motile phagocytes by releasing a “find-me” signal to eliminate apoptotic cells and maintain tissue homeostasis. Many systemic diseases, such as SLE, glomerulonephritis, COPD, and atherosclerosis are related to the failure of ApoBDs clearance on time. Created with BioRender.com
