From fixed-dried to wet-fixed to live - comparative super-resolution microscopy of liver sinusoidal endothelial cell fenestrations

Karolina Szafranska et al.

Summary: In this study, different types of microscopy techniques were compared to analyze fenestrations in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC). Sample dehydration was found to alter fenestration diameters, and a combination of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with conventional microscopy was proposed to observe cell dynamics and obtain chemical information more effectively.

Multimodal on-chip nanoscopy and quantitative phase imaging reveals the nanoscale morphology of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells

Ankit Butola et al.

Summary: This study presents an integrated chip-based optical nanoscopy combined with quantitative phase microscopy for obtaining 3D morphology of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC). The multimodal microscope offers nanoscale visualization of both the lateral size and the thickness map of subcellular structures, providing estimates for fenestration diameter and sieve plate thickness. Treatment with cytochalasin B demonstrated the potential for precise detection of cell height, showcasing the versatility and precision of the proposed technique in bioimaging.

The Scavenger Function of Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells in Health and Disease

Sabin Bhandari et al.

Summary: This review outlines the blood clearance function of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) in both health and disease, highlighting their high-affinity receptors and intracellular vesicle transport system. It also discusses the similarities and differences between LSECs and specialized scavenger endothelial cells (SECs) in various vascular beds and vertebrate classes. The activity of LSECs and other SECs helps to maintain blood and tissue homeostasis by efficiently clearing large molecules and nanoparticles, but this process may also result in unwanted uptake of nanomedicines and biologics.

The wHole Story About Fenestrations in LSEC

Karolina Szafranska et al.

Summary: The porosity of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) plays a crucial role in the bidirectional passive transport of lipoproteins, drugs, and solutes between liver capillaries and parenchyma. Various factors, including aging and liver disorders, can severely reduce LSEC porosity and affect their filtration properties. Recent research suggests that certain medications may have a beneficial effect on LSEC re-fenestration in aging populations, highlighting the importance of understanding and regulating LSEC porosity for overall liver health.
