Abstract:
Dendritic cells (DC) represent a heterogeneous cell population including many subsets. DC subpopulations with different characteristics and functions have been identified. The liver, as an immunological organ, is important in induction of immune tolerance. The unique anatomical architecture and immune properties of the liver have given DC the ability to maintain liver homeostasis and respond quickly to liver tissue damage. This article reviewed the role of hepatic DC subsets in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and repair of damaged tissue in the liver.
