c‐Rel–dependent Chk2 signaling regulates the DNA damage response limiting hepatocarcinogenesis
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 In response to genotoxic injury, c‐Rel upregulates ATM‐Chk2‐p53 pathway DNA damage proteins to limiting hepatocarcinogenesis. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer‐related death. The NF‐κB transcription factor family subunit c‐Rel is typically protumorigenic; however, it has recently been reported as a

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.

Serum bile acids as a prognostic biomarker in biliary atresia following Kasai portoenterostomy
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Serum bile acid levels predict outcomes in patients with biliary atresia who achieve normalized bilirubin levels after Kasai portoenterostomy. Abstract Background and Aims In biliary atresia, serum bilirubin is commonly used to predict outcomes after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP).

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 ...

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 ...
