An Interactive Automation for Human Biliary Tree Diagnosis Using Computer Vision [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The biliary tree is a network of tubes that connects the liver to the gallbladder, an organ right beneath it. The bile duct is the major tube in the biliary tree. The dilatation of a bile duct is a key indicator for more major problems in the human body, such as stones and tumors, which are frequently caused by the pancreas or the papilla of vater. The

Recent advances on the mechanisms regulating cholangiocyte proliferation and the significance of the neuroendocrine regulation of cholangiocyte pathophysiology [PDF]
, 2013 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 ...

Gut Microbiota-derived Bile Acids Promote Gamma-secretase Activity Through Interactions with Nicastrin Subunits [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Alzheimer's disease (AD) has emerged as a progressively pervasive neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Bile acids, synthesized in the liver and modified by the gut microbiota, play pivotal roles in diverse physiological processes, and their dysregulation in individuals with AD has been well-documented.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: review and update [PDF]
, 2018 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.

REMEDI: REinforcement learning-driven adaptive MEtabolism modeling of primary sclerosing cholangitis DIsease progression [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare disease wherein altered bile acid metabolism contributes to sustained liver injury. This paper introduces REMEDI, a framework that captures bile acid dynamics and the body's adaptive response during PSC progression that can assist in exploring treatments.

Peribiliary glands are key in regeneration of the human biliary epithelium after severe bile duct injury [PDF]
, 2019 Peribiliary glands (PBG) are a source of stem/progenitor cells organized in a cellular network encircling large bile ducts. Severe cholangiopathy with loss of luminal biliary epithelium has been proposed to activate PBG, resulting in cell proliferation ...
