M2-like macrophages exert hepatoprotection in acute-on-chronic liver failure through inhibiting necroptosis-S100A9-necroinflammation axis

Cell Death and Disease, 2021
Necroptosis has emerged as a novel and crucial player in acute and chronic liver diseases. Necroptotic cells lead to the release of DAMPs including S100A9, followed by the development of necroinflammation.
