The Evolving Role of Neutrophils in Liver Transplant Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), an inevitable event during liver transplantation, represents a major risk factor for the primary graft dysfunction as well as the development of acute and chronic rejection. Neutrophils, along macrophages are pivotal in the innate immune-driven liver IRI, whereas the effective neutrophil targeting therapies remain to be established. In this review, we summarize progress in our appreciation of the...
