Biliary complications after liver transplantation: With special reference to the biliary cast syndrome and techniques of secondary duct repair [PDF]

, 1977
In 93 consecutive cases of orthotopic liver transplantation, there were 24 examples of biliary obstruction and eight of bile fistula formation. Six of the obstructed livers developed biliary cast formation so extensive that the smaller intrahepatic ducts

MCT1‐mediated Lactate Shuttle to Mitochondria Governs Macrophage Polarization and Modulates Glucose Homeostasis by Affecting β Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the transport of lactate to the mitochondria is of critical importance in determining the functions of macrophages by altering mitochondrial respiration. In macrophages, this lactate transport mechanism regulates glucose homeostasis by influencing the functions of insulin‐secreting cells in the pancreatic islets.

Role of Tunneling Nanotubes in Arachidonic Acid Transfer and Macrophage Function Reprogramming in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tunneling nanotubes facilitate the transfer of long‐chain fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, from tumor cells to macrophages, leading to lipid accumulation and activation of the PI3K‐Akt pathway. This drives a shift from the anti‐tumor CD5L⁺ phenotype to a pro‐tumor TREM2⁺ phenotype.
