Role of Kupffer Cells in Driving Hepatic Inflammation and Fibrosis in HIV Infection
While the interactions between HIV and various liver cell populations have been explored, the relevance of these interactions when patients are well-controlled on ART is less clear. Therefore, we focus this perspective on HIV-related alterations that may

Prevention of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in the Rat Liver by Atrial Natriuretic Peptide [PDF]
This work characterizes the protective effects of ANP preconditioning in ischemia-reperfusion injury of the isolated perfused rat liver. It was of particular interest to evaluate the influence of ANP on the mode of cell death occurring during cold ...

Desialylated Platelet Clearance in the Liver is a Novel Mechanism of Systemic Immunosuppression
Platelets are small, versatile blood cells that are critical for hemostasis/thrombosis. Local platelet accumulation is a known contributor to proinflammation in various disease states.

Interrogating in vivo Mechanisms of Kupffer Cell Transcriptional Regulation Using Natural Genetic Variation [PDF]
Tissue macrophages are essential for the maintenance of organ homeostasis, but the cellular mechanisms specifying their phenotype are poorly understood. Here, we leverage natural genetic variation between inbred mouse strains as a tool to perturb Kupffer

Gut-primed neutrophils activate Kupffer cells to promote hepatic injury in mouse sepsis
Sepsis-induced liver injury is common, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Given the critical role of gut-liver crosstalk in sepsis, we hypothesize that gut-trained neutrophils, migrating via the portal vein, release neutrophil ...

Heme oxygenase 1-mediated ferroptosis in Kupffer cells initiates liver injury during heat stroke
With the escalating prevalence of global heat waves, heat stroke has become a prominent health concern, leading to substantial liver damage. Unlike other forms of liver injury, heat stroke-induced damage is characterized by heat cytotoxicity and ...

Inhibition of Kupffer Cell Autophagy Abrogates Nanoparticle-Induced Liver Injury [PDF]
The possible adverse effects of engineered nanomaterials on human health raise increasing concern as our research on nanosafety intensifies. Upon entry into a human body, whether intended for a theranostic purpose or through unintended exposure ...

PD-1 blockade improves Kupffer cell bacterial clearance in acute liver injury [PDF]
Acute liver failure (ALF) patients display systemic innate immune suppression and increased susceptibility to infections. PD-1 expression by macrophages has been associated with immune suppression during sepsis and cancer.
