IGFBP4 is a Metric for Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Attenuates Biliary Epithelial Cell Injury. [PDF]

Liver Int
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Immune‐mediated bile duct injury is the primary histological feature of autoimmune cholestatic liver diseases. Macrophages, the most abundant immune cell population in the liver, have been postulated to play a critical role in biliary repair. However, it is unclear whether activated macrophages interact with injured biliary
