Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is widespread worldwide and thereby a very serious public health problem. There are currently no effective drug treatment measures. Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are the most abundant non-parenchymal cells in the liver; however, it is still not clear what role LSECs play in NAFLD. This article reviews the research progress of LSECs in NAFLD in recent years in order to provide some reference for subsequent research.
非酒精性脂肪肝性肝病(NAFLD)在世界范围内广泛流行,是非常严重的公共卫生问题,目前尚无有效的药物治疗措施。肝窦内皮细胞(LSECs)是肝脏中占比最大的非实质细胞,但目前LSECs在NAFLD中发挥的作用尚不明确。现就近年LSECs在NAFLD中相关研究进展进行综述,以期为后续的研究提供一定的参考。.
