Architecture of the Liver Sinusoid

  • Liver sinusoids are lined by fenestrated endothelia and interspersed Kupffer cells, the resident macrophages of the liver.
  • Stellate cells, the major producers of liver extracellular matrix, are located inside the narrow space of Disse, which is formed by the sinusoidal cell layer and cords of hepatocytes.
