Abstrakt: This article explores the role of macrophages in graft rejection after organ transplantation. Macrophages are cells in the immune system that recognize antigens and are associated with an increased incidence of graft rejection. The article discusses potential macrophage-targeted therapeutic strategies to improve graft survival and reviews the literature on the role of macrophages in organ transplantation. It also discusses the role of macrophages in acute and chronic rejection, as well as various macrophage-targeted therapies. The authors emphasize the need for further research to understand macrophages' roles in graft survival and the importance of studying different macrophage phenotypes for developing targeted therapy strategies.
