Cell Type Overview
Kupffer cells are specialized tissue-resident macrophages located within the sinusoids of the liver. They are the largest population of fixed macrophages in the body. They phagocytose pathogens, toxins, cellular debris, and aged red blood cells from the portal blood flow. They play crucial roles in liver immunity, iron recycling, lipid metabolism, and maintaining overall hepatic homeostasis. Their activation can contribute to liver inflammation and fibrosis.
