Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in liver diseases and hepatocellular carcinoma: molecular mechanisms, physiology, and therapies
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) form a specialized discontinuous microvascular interface between sinusoidal blood and the hepatic parenchyma. Functioning as a central regulator of hepatic homeostasis, LSECs integrate metabolic, inflammatory, and hemodynamic signals to maintain sinusoidal permeability, immune...
