Macrophage function in tissue repair and remodeling requires IL-4 or IL-13 with apoptotic cells
Macrophages aid in not only protecting the body from foreign bodies within the body, but are also players involved in body tissue repair.
So they eat Cancer cells through Phagocytosis (eating of foreign bodies), and are involved in apoptosis of Tumor cells, as well as body tissue repair.
All GOD given…
