Introduction: Postoperative ileus (POI) is an iatrogenic disorder marked by temporary impaired gastrointestinal (GI) motility post-abdominal surgery. Surgical handling of the intestine activates resident macrophages (Mfs), leading to inflammatory cytokine release and leukocyte recruitment into the muscularis, which compromises intestinal contractility. The mechanisms behind this activation are unclear.

ATP is involved in numerous physiological functions, such as neurotransmission, modulation, and secretion, as well as in cell proliferation, differentiation, and death. While ATP serves an essential intracellular role as a source of energy, it behaves differently in the extracellular environment, where it acts as a signaling molecule capable of activating specific purinergic receptors (P2YRs and P2XRs) that modulate the response to ATP. Extracellular ATP signaling is a dynamic area of research, with particular interest in ATP's effects on inflammatory conditions and pain modulation.

Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial disease characterized by persistent low-grade tissue and systemic inflammation. Fat accumulation in adipose tissue (AT) leads to stress and dysfunctional adipocytes, along with the infiltration of immune cells, which initiates and sustains inflammation. Neutrophils are the first immune cells to infiltrate AT during high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity.

Cells die by necrosis due to excessive chemical or thermal stress, leading to plasma membrane rupture, release of intracellular components and severe inflammation. The clearance of necrotic cell debris is crucial for tissue recovery and injury resolution, however, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood, especially . This study examined the role of complement proteins in promoting clearance of necrotic cell debris by leukocytes and their influence on liver regeneration.

Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) and its progressive form, Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), represent significant health concerns associated with the metabolic syndrome. These conditions are characterized by excessive hepatic fat accumulation, inflammation, and potential progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Neutrophils are innate immune cells that play a pivotal role in the development of MASLD and MASH.
