Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a global health challenge, with treatment efficacy often compromised by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). While chemotherapy induces immunogenic cell death (ICD) and the release of Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs), the specific impact of these molecules on macrophage plasticity and the underlying...
