Cholangiocyte organoids for disease, cancer, and regenerative medicine

European Journal of Cell Biology
The biliary tract is a ductal network comprising the intrahepatic (IHBDs) and extrahepatic bile duct (EHBDs). Biliary duct disorders include cholangitis, neoplasms, and injury. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.

Endoscopic small bowel therapies for type 2 diabetes

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Type 2 diabetes is a global epidemic despite current medical treatments. Many patients are not responsive to medications, and patients with obesity are hesitant about bariatric surgery. Studies investigating the metabolic effects of Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass have increasingly demonstrated that the duodenum plays a key role in the ...

Neuroprotective effects of ursodeoxycholic acid in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
In Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), various shared pathological mechanisms exist. UDCA has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in preclinical and clinical studies. Such effects include the mitigation of neuroinflammation as well as rescue effects on mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and ...

The Dynamic Evolution of Lipid Profiles Following Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Cirrhosis is frequently accompanied by varying degrees of lipid profile abnormalities. This study confirms that these profiles are differentially affected by disease etiology and progressively worsen—with significant reductions in TC, HDL‐C, and LDL‐C—as liver disease severity increases. TIPS improves lipid profiles, particularly by increasing HDL‐C in

Overlap syndrome of seronegative primary biliary cholangitis and small duct primary sclerosing cholangitis: a first case report and literature review

Future Science OA
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) are distinct liver diseases. Cases combining PBC and PSC, are extremely rare. Here, we present a case of a 39-year-old woman with a history of colonic

Drug therapy of primary biliary diseases: classical and modern strategies [PDF]

, 2013
Definition: Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are both cholestatic liver diseases. A common feature of these disorders is the accumulation of bile acids in the liver and blood, presumably because of decreased ...

Current Cell/Organoid and Animal Models for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with limited therapeutic options and a marked risk of progression to biliary fibrosis, cirrhosis, and malignancy. Progress in PSC research has been hindered by the lack of models that faithfully recapitulate the complex biliary microenvironment and disease heterogeneity ...

When Fat Goes Astray: Your Liver and Pancreas Get Into Trouble

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) are both common manifestations of ectopic fat accumulation. Although they share multiple risk factors, they also show notable differences in pathological features, standardization of diagnosis, and research maturity.

Autoimmune diseases refractory to corticosteroids and immunosuppressants

Frontiers in Immunology
Corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs can alleviate the symptoms of most autoimmune diseases and induce remission by restraining the autoimmune attack and limiting the damage to the target tissues. However, four autoimmune non-degenerative diseases—

Analysis of C4 Concentrations to Predict Impact of Patient‐Reported Diarrhea Associated With the Ileal Bile Acid Transporter Inhibitor Linerixibat

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 596-605, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Linerixibat, an ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT) inhibitor, is being evaluated for the treatment of pruritus in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Diarrhea is commonly reported with this drug class as IBAT inhibition redirects bile acids (BA) to the colon.
