Annotation rationales
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells are highly specialized, fenestrated scavenger endothelial cells lining hepatic sinusoids.
Functional implications
They enable exchange between blood and hepatocytes, clear circulating macromolecules and promote hepatic immune tolerance and zonated metabolic signaling.
