Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2018 Background Hepatic macrophage (Kupffer cell) hyperplasia is often described in Wilson’s disease (WD). In many liver diseases, Kupffer cell activation is related to disease severity, liver function, and fibrosis but the importance in WD is unknown ...

Antimicrobial properties of Kupffer cells [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1988 To characterize the antimicrobial activities of Kupffer cells, I harvested macrophages from livers with a technique involving perfusion with collagenase and DNase. Ninety-nine percent of glass-adherent cells had typical macrophage morphology, 99% were esterase positive, and 60% phagocytosed opsonized zymosan when challenged with four particles per ...

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2011 Cirrhosis is the final outcome of liver fibrosis. Kupffer cell-mediated hepatic inflammation is considered to aggravate liver injury and fibrosis. Alternatively-activated macrophages are able to control chronic inflammatory events and trigger wound ...

Functions of hepatic non-parenchymal cells in alcoholic liver disease
Liver Research, 2019 Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) represents a wide spectrum of disease from simple steatosis to cirrhosis. Although there have been multiple attempts to treat ALD, its treatment is still based on abstinence from alcohol and using corticosteroids in ...

Characterisation of Kupffer cells in some Amphibia
Journal of Anatomy, 2000 A study on the Kupffer cells (KCs) of Amphibia was undertaken in order to compare these cells with those of endothermic animals. Liver tissue and isolated and cultured KCs were studied by light microscopy and by transmission and scanning electron microscopy.

Kupffer Cells in Health and Disease
, 2014 Kupffer cells (KC), the resident macrophages of the liver, represent the largest population of mononuclear phagocytes in the body. Phenotypic, developmental, and functional aspects of these cells in steady state and in different diseases are the focus of this review.
