Cell biology and kinetics of Kupffer cells in the liver
K Wake, K Decker, A Kirn, DL Knook… - International review of …, 1989 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary The study of Kupffer cells has developed rapidly and has been
extended to problems concerning the origin, structure, and function of these cells in normal
and pathological conditions This chapter provides an overview of the current morphological
and biochemical data. Many of the major advances in Kupffer cells have resulted from the
development of new methods, such as cell isolation, purification, and culture. Kupffer cells
play a major role in the clearance of endotoxin from the blood, which induces the release of …
