Macrophage activating factor in biology

Today, we delve into the fascinating world of Macrophage Activating Factor (MAF). But before we do, let's understand the role of macrophages in our body. Macrophages, derived from monocytes, are key players in our immune system. They act as the first line of defense, patrolling tissues, and engulfing pathogens, dead cells, and debris. But what activates these macrophages? That's where MAF comes into play!
