title: Bon EPOtit! S1P-Mediated EPO Signaling Whets a Macrophage's Appetite for Apoptotic Cells.
abstract: Phagocytes clear dying cells within an organism to prevent damaging inflammation and autoimmunity. In this issue of Immunity, Luo et al. (2016) describe how "find-me" signals from apoptotic cells induce erythropoietin signaling within macrophages to prime them for efferocytosis.
