Özet
The liver is the largest solid organ in the body and commands
a large blood supply that is rich in bacterial products, environment
toxins, and food antigens, which are repeatedly scanned
by cells within the liver. In addition, the regenerative capability
of liver tissue makes it unique in comparison to other
internal organs. In contrast to these unlike properties, the
liver is one of the most common sites for metastatic diseases;
it supports chronic viral infections caused by hepatitis B and
C and can also promote tolerance against external antigens
in animal models. Furthermore, liver transplantation often
requires less immunosuppression compared to kidney and
other solid organ transplantations. Despite these properties,
the study of liver immunology remains in its infancy, and
many questions remain unanswered. In that special issue,
authors try to find answers in various subjects about immune
response in liver under the approach of infection, malignancy,
and transplantation.
