A review of xenobiotic membrane transporter expression within the human placenta: Lessons gained from primary tissue and in vitro methodologies

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A summary of the current knowledge around membrane transporter expression in the most widely used in vitro models of human trophoblasts, including primary placental tissue, cancer cell lines and trophoblast stem cells, as well as the techniques to attempt to mimic the human placenta in vivo.

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid exerts anticholestatic effects by a cooperative cPKC alpha-/PKA-dependent mechanism in rat liver. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Objective: Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) exerts anticholestatic effects in part by protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent mechanisms. Its taurine conjugate, TUDCA, is a cPKCa agonist.

Epigenetic Perspectives on Maternal Gut Microbiota's Impact on Embryonic and Fetal Development

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review summarizes how maternal health and nutrition shape gut microbiota via epigenetics to regulate embryonic development. It highlights microbiota‐embryo interactions, disruption by prenatal chemical exposures, and personalized nutrition for disease prevention, offering novel insights and therapeutic targets.

More Than a Question of Correlation: Characterization of the Evidentiary Basis for Biomarker Surrogates Used in European Marketing Authorizations

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 119, Issue 6, Page 1522-1536, June 2026.
Traditionally, clinical outcomes measuring how a patient feels, functions, or survives are preferred endpoints in clinical trials; however, some may take a long time to manifest in slowly developing diseases. Biomarkers, if properly validated, can serve as surrogate endpoints, acting as substitutes for clinical outcomes.

Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis: late initial diagnosis in adulthood

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2010
Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare autosomal recessive or sporadic disorder, characterized by recurrent episodes of intense pruritus and jaundice that resolve spontaneously without leaving considerable liver damage.

Biology of Cholangiocytes: From Bench to Bedside [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cholangiocytes, the lining epithelial cells in bile ducts, are an important subset of liver cells. They are activated by endogenous and exogenous stimuli and are involved in the modification of bile volume and composition.

Abcb4 Haploinsufficiency Sensitises Mice to a Diet‐Induced PSC‐Like Hepatobiliary Phenotype With Gallstone Formation

open access: yesLiver International Communications, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT ABCB4 translocates phospholipids (PL) into bile to buffer the toxicity of bile acids (BA) and free cholesterol (CHOL). While recessively inherited ABCB4 deficiency causes childhood Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis type 3, haploinsufficiency has been linked to adult‐onset hepatobiliary diseases.
