High tumor budding is a new candidate for an additional determinant of the T category in staging ICC. An LCSGJ staging system containing an additional evaluation of tumor budding may lead to improved staging accuracy. Abstract Purpose This retrospective study evaluated our hypothesis that high tumor budding (≥10 buds) may help determine the appropriate

Recent advances on the mechanisms regulating cholangiocyte proliferation and the significance of the neuroendocrine regulation of cholangiocyte pathophysiology [PDF]
Cholangiocytes are epithelial cells lining the biliary epithelium. Cholangiocytes play several key roles in the modification of ductal bile and are also the target cells in chronic cholestatic liver diseases (i.e., cholangiopathies) such as PSC, PBC ...

Tissue-Engineered Bile Ducts for Disease Modeling and Therapy [PDF]
Recent biotechnical advances in the in vitro culture of cholangiocytes and generation of bioengineered biliary tissue have a high potential for creating biliary tissue to be used for disease modeling, drug screening, and transplantation. For the past few decades, scientists have searched for a source of cholangiocytes, focused on primary cholangiocytes

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: review and update [PDF]
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a heterogeneous group of malignancies that could develop at any level from the biliary tree. CCA is currently classified into intrahepatic (iCCA), perihilar and distal on the basis of its anatomical location.

Benign disease of the common bile duct
Abstract The incidence of common bile duct (CBD) pathology in a group of patients with benign biliary disease (n = 505) was found to be 23.2 per cent. The spectrum included 111 patients (90.2 per cent) with CBD stones, 37 of whom (33.3 per cent) had no symptoms or findings pre-operatively indicating CBD involvement.
