Cooperation of Liver Cells in Health and Disease by Zbigniew Kmiec
This monograph is a presentation of the emerging field of liver biology. It summarizes multiple data that suggest the important role of cellular cross-talk for the functions of both normal and diseased liver. It also includes concise presentation of the majority of detailed data in 19 tables.It is only during the last decade that the functions of sinusoidal endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, hepatic stellate cells, pit cells and other intrahepatic lymphocytes have been better understood. The development of methods for isolation and co-culturing various types of liver cells has established that they communicate and cooperate via secretion of various intercellular mediators. This monograph summarizes multiple data that suggest the important role of cellular cross-talk for the functions of both normal and diseased liver. Special features of the book include concise presentation of the majority of detailed data in 19 tables. Original schemes allow for the clear illustration of complicated intercellular relationships. This is the first ever presentation of the newly emerging field of liver biology, which is important for hepatic function in health and disease and opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions. |
