Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Endoscopic Ultrasound versus Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography in Patients with Suspected Common Bile Duct Stones. [PDF]

, 2015
Patients with suspected common bile duct (CBD) stones are often diagnosed using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), an invasive procedure with risk of significant complications.

Transplantation of patient‐specific bile duct bioengineered with chemically reprogrammed and microtopographically differentiated cells

Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2022
Cholangiopathy is a diverse spectrum of chronic progressive bile duct disorders with limited treatment options and dismal outcomes. Scaffold‐ and stem cell‐based tissue engineering technologies hold great promise for reconstructive surgery and tissue ...

Histamine stimulates the proliferation of small and large cholangiocytes by activation of both IP3/Ca2+ and cAMP-dependent signaling mechanisms [PDF]

, 2012
Although large cholangiocytes exert their functions by activation of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP), Ca(2+)-dependent signaling regulates the function of small cholangiocytes. Histamine interacts with four receptors, H1-H4HRs.

NOTCH signalling – a core regulator of bile duct disease?

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2023
ABSTRACT The Notch signalling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism of cell–cell communication that mediates cellular proliferation, fate determination and maintenance of stem/progenitor cell populations across tissues.

Cardiovascular Disease Meets Cancer: Exploring the Epidemiology in China and Homotherapy Targeting Intersectional Mechanisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are leading causes of death worldwide, with overlapping risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms. This review explores shared pathways, including metabolic dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and gut microbiome alterations, highlighting dual‐benefit strategies such as lifestyle modifications and repurposed

Epimorphin regulates bile duct formation via effects on mitosis orientation in rat liver epithelial stem-like cells.

PLoS ONE, 2010
Understanding how hepatic precursor cells can generate differentiated bile ducts is crucial for studies on epithelial morphogenesis and for development of cell therapies for hepatobiliary diseases.

CHOLANGIOSCOPY IN BILE DUCT DISEASE: a case series [PDF]

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2014
Context Direct endoscopic visualization of biliopancreatic duct is certainly one of the greatest advances of therapeutic endoscopy. The use of a single-operator cholangioscopy platform (SpyGlass) is a promising technique in the evaluation of diseases such as indeterminate biliary stricture and giant choledocholitiasis. This is the first Brazilian case

GHSR‐Foxo1 Signaling in Macrophages Promotes Liver Fibrosis via Inflammatory Response and Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Macrophage GHSR‐Foxo1 axis regulates CCl4‐induced liver fibrosis by promoting inflammation and TGF‐β1‐mediated HSC activation. GHSR activates PKA‐dependent phosphorylation of Foxo1 at serine 273, promoting macrophage pro‐inflammatory polarization to enhance the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines that damage hepatocytes, thereby inducing liver ...

TNF receptor–related factor 3 inactivation promotes the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma through NF‐κB‐inducing kinase–mediated hepatocyte transdifferentiation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a deadly but poorly understood disease, and its treatment options are very limited. The aim of this study was to identify the molecular drivers of ICC and search for therapeutic targets.

BRD4 Signaling Maintains the Differentiated State of β Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The comprehensive exploration revealed the critical role of BRD4 in β cells. BRD4 plays a fundamental role in maintaining β cell differentiation because both long‐term and acute BRD4 deficiency result in a reduction in insulin secretion and downregulation of differentiation markers.
