Although the cloning and molecular characterization of MFG-E8 was first reported in the
early 90s, breakthrough on MFG-E8 research came into light when it was explored as an …

Phosphatidylserine-containing liposomes (PSLs) can mimic the anti-inflammatory effects of
apoptotic cells by binding to the phosphatidylserine receptors of macrophages. MGF-E8, a …
