A Metabolism-Based Quorum Sensing Mechanism Contributes to Termination of Inflammatory Responses
Mechanisms sensing when a sufficient number of immune cells have accumulated in tissues to terminate inflammation are incompletely understood. Here, Postat et al. establish that NO produced at inflammatory sites acts as a quorum sensing mechanism to adjust monocyte-derived cell respiration and cytokine production to their density in the tissue.
