The intricate role of hepatic macrophages, particularly Kupffer cells (KCs) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMFs), in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and NASH, has received increasing attention. Hepatic ...

The microvasculature of the liver, known as the sinusoid, interfaces the blood supply with the hepatocytes and is also the location of the hepatic stellate cells and Kupffer cells. Figure 2.
