Adolph Theodor Kupffer was a German anatomist and pathologist best known for his discovery of Kupffer cells in 1876. Kupffer cells are specialized macrophages located in the liver that play a crucial role in the immune response by phagocytizing pathogens and clearing dead cells and debris from the blood. Kupffer's work significantly advanced the understanding of liver histology and immunology.
