Mechanism of apoptotic cells clearance by macrophage in MCF7 cells treated with methanol extract of centella asiatica (MECA)

Apoptosis is a dynamic developmental process and is an integral part of homeostasis in higher multicellular animals. It takes place in normal tissue and is induced in abnormal cells such as breast cancer using cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. Defective clearance of apoptotic cancer cells in patien...
