JPGN Reports, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 355-361, May 2026.Abstract Cystic biliary atresia (CBA) is a rare variant of biliary atresia that closely resembles choledochal cyst (CC), complicating diagnosis and potentially delaying critical surgical intervention. We report two cases of CBA that were difficult to diagnose.

Proteomic Trajectories of Metabolic and Proteostatic Adaptation During Normothermic Liver Perfusion
Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Background Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) enables metabolic restoration and viability testing of liver grafts, but current viability criteria incompletely predict post‐transplant outcomes. The molecular basis of graft resilience or biliary vulnerability remains unclear. This study aimed to characterise tissue‐level proteomic trajectories
