Re: chronic inflammation again...

a crucial step in the healing process is missing called apoptosis.Dying cells that undergo the final stages of apoptosis display phagocytotic molecules, such as phosphatidylserine, on their cell surface.[30] Phosphatidylserine is normally found on the cytosolic surface of the plasma membrane, but is redistributed during apoptosis to the extracellular surface by a hypothetical protein known as scramblase.[31] These molecules mark the cell for phagocytosis by cells possessing the appropriate receptors, such as macrophages.[32] Upon recognition, the phagocyte reorganizes its cytoskeleton for engulfment of the cell. The removal of dying cells by phagocytes occurs in an orderly manner without eliciting an inflammatory response. basically you gotta get the removal of dead cells done at the appropriate time. i notice the work phosphatylsrine that some of you tried it how did it work? maybe using this towards the end of the healing stage would help?
