The ISHSR supports the Liver Sinusoid Meeting formally called International Kupffer Cell Symposium 19771988 and International Symposium on Cells of the Hepatic Sinusoid ISCHS 19902008. The ISHSR currently has more than 400 members from 30 nations who are primarily interested in hepatic sinusoidal cells such as sinusoidal endothelial cells Kupffer cells hepatic stellate cells cholangiocytes NK cells and hepatocytes.
