RESULTS Following biliodigestive anastomosis after 21 days of bile duct ligation, rat liver demonstrated a progressive resolution of biliary fibrosis over 42 days, associated with a fivefold decrease ...

Myeloid-specific FSTL1-knockout (FSTL1 M-KO) mice were constructed to explore the function and mechanism of macrophage FSTL1 in 3 murine models of liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride ...

FOR the 6,000 people in the UK who are newly diagnosed with bile duct cancer every year, the prognosis is uniquely grim. According to data from Cancer Research UK, up to 70 per cent of all these ...

Background: The purpose of the present study was to define the differential diagnostic markers of benign and malignant bile duct strictures without demonstrable mass on ultrasonography (US ...

Doctors in the UK are hoping to transform the lives of people with deadly bile duct cancer. A new study – which has shown promising early results – matches the patient’s tumour to one or ...

In addition to impacting metabolism, inflammation and ischemia lead to bile duct structure damage, with bile flow defects further exacerbating cholestasis. TNF-α, tumour necrosis factor-alpha;IL-6, ...

MRI and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP): An MRI uses strong magnetic waves to create a detailed picture. An MRCP uses MRI imaging with special software to help detect gallstones and ...

The acquired cholestatic liver diseases include dysfunctions of hepatobiliary production and transport of the bile, caused by biliary duct obstruction due to gall stones or malignancies, or by ...

While studying mouse and human liver tumors, they discovered that certain bile acids in the liver could affect the activity of cancer-fighting immune cells, called T cells. The researchers ...
