Immunol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>\n                    Macrophages are key cells of the innate immune system and serve as a first line of defense against invading pathogens while maintaining tissue homeostasis. As highly specialized phagocytic cells, they eliminate pathogens, clear apoptotic and abnormal cells, and coordinate both innate and adaptive immune responses. Under steady state conditions, macrophages remain in a quiescent yet surveillance active state, continuously sensing their microenvironment to preserve tissue integrity without initiating unnecessary inflammatory responses. Tissue resident macrophages, such as microglia in the brain and Kupffer cells in the liver, exhibit functional specialization shaped by local environmental cues, enabling organ specific roles adapted to tissue requirements. Recent advances have improved our understanding of molecular and signaling mechanisms underlying macrophage phenotypic diversity and plasticity. However, macrophage biology remains highly complex due to dynamic responses to temporally and spatially variable microenvironmental signals, as well as the co-existence of heterogeneous pro inflammatory and anti-inflammatory states. In addition, experimental challenges persist, including variability in isolation procedures, difficulties in distinguishing overlapping activation states, lack of universally reliable phenotypic markers, and context-dependent functional variability. Furthermore, discrepancies arising from\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    culture systems, animal models, and technical limitations in high dimensional analyses complicate data interpretation and cross study comparisons. Therefore, the development and implementation of standardized and well-optimized experimental protocols including cell isolation, culture conditions, stimulation strategies, multiparametric phenotyping, and complementary functional assays are essential to improve reproducibility and translational relevance. This review summarizes current knowledge on macrophage biology and phenotypic plasticity, highlighting key regulatory mechanisms, experimental limitations, and methodological considerations. A deeper understanding of macrophage behavior through rigorous and standardized approaches will support the development of more effective strategies for targeting these cells in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, infections, cancer, and other chronic inflammatory disorders.\n
