Cellular Interactions and Crosstalk Facilitating Biliary Fibrosis in CholestasisSummary
Biliary fibrosis is seen in cholangiopathies, including primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). In PBC and PSC, biliary fibrosis is associated with worse outcomes and histologic scores.

Serum predictors of native liver survival post‐Kasai: Systematic review and meta‐analysis
Abstract Objectives After hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE), a minority of biliary atresia (BA) patients reach adolescence without liver transplantation. Several serum markers have been suggested to better predict post‐HPE outcomes in BA patients. We aimed to identify serum predictors of native liver survival (NLS) in post‐HPE BA patients.
