title: Viruses PLAY DEAD to TAMe interferon responses.
abstract: TAM receptors promote apoptotic cell uptake and function as inflammation suppressors. Many viruses mimic apoptotic cells, thus exploiting TAM receptors for attachment and entry. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Bhattacharyya et al. show that TAM binding by enveloped viruses also induces receptor signaling to suppress cellular interferon responses.
