    Mechanotransduction of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells under varied mechanical stimuli

    Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are the gatekeeper of liver to maintain hepatic homeostasis. They are formed into the highly specialized endothelium between vascular lumen and the space of Disse and...
