Figure 3From: The influence of oxygen tension on the structure and function of isolated liver sinusoidal endothelial cellsFenestration pattern in cultured LSEC analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The evolution of fenestrae in isolated LSECs seeded on fibronectin-coated coverslips was monitored at different time points by SEM. LSECs cultures were maintained at high (a-c) or low (d-f) oxygen levels. Highly fenestrated cells can be observed during early time points of culture. Fenestration is gradually lost over time in both normoxic or hypoxic conditions.Back to article page
