In a multi‐centre study of obeticholic acid in primary biliary cholangitis, 45% discontinued the drug over 4 years, with 11% moving to combination therapy (fibrates). Of those continuing, response rates increased from 37% (1 year) to 55% (4 years). Non‐response at 12 months and cirrhosis were independent predictors of liver‐related events.

A contemporary map of Fasciola hepatica distribution in sheep and cattle in New South Wales
Fasciola hepatica is a global threat to livestock production, human health, and food security. Infection causes significant reductions in milk production and quality, feed conversion efficiency, wool quality, and reproductive performance. In New South Wales (NSW), Australia, data on the distribution of F. hepatica are more than 50 years out of date and

Combined hepatocellular–cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC‐CCA) is a tumor consisting of a mixture of hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) components, but the mechanisms of development are poorly understood. The activation of Myc may be implicated in the formation of cHCC‐CCA and this work demonstrates for the first time that Myc ...
