Macrophages in the __Drosophila__ embryo are responsible for the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and are competent to engulf bacteria. Croquemort (CRQ) is a CD36-related receptor expressed exclusively on these macrophages. Genetic evidence showed that __crq__ was essential for efficient phagocytosis
Hepatic stellate cell activation is a main feature of liver fibrogenesis. We have previously shown that phagocytosis of apoptotic bodies by stellate cells induces procollagen ␣1 (I) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-) expression in vitro. Here we have further investigated the downstream effe
