Abstract
Apoptosis is a major mechanism for reducing acute inflammation by elimination of unwanted cellular responses causing tissue damage and monocytes (Mo) and macrophages (Mo) play an important role in these processes. Therefore, in the following we summarize how these cells may contribute to regulation of apoptosis of other cells and discuss the factors involved.
