This review systematically delineates three key mechanisms of hematoma resolution post-ICH: (1) erythrophagocytosis by microglia/macrophages through Tyro3, Axl, and Mertk (TAM) receptors, the cluster of differentiation (CD) 36 receptor, the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2, and the signal regulatory protein α receptor; (2) clearance of hemolytic products through the hemoglobin-haptoglobin-CD163 and hemin-hemopexin-CD91 axes; and (3) glymphatic and meningeal lymphatic drainage. The gene discussed is MERTK; the disease is hematoma.
