01
Overview
Activated macrophages are immune cells that have undergone functional changes in response to specific stimuli, enhancing their ability to kill pathogens, secrete cytokines, and modulate immune responses. Activation is a dynamic process influenced by the local microenvironment and can result in distinct phenotypes with specialized functions. They play central roles in killing intracellular bacteria, orchestrating adaptive immunity, tissue destruction/remodeling, and wound healing. Uncontrolled or chronic activation can lead to tissue damage.
