Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease that causes the destruction of bile ducts within the liver. The loss of bile ducts results in bile acid buildup, which causes inflammation ...

—Researchers provide the most comprehensive genetic synopsis of primary biliary cholangitis to date, identifying 44 risk-associated variants with strong evidence for novel genome-wide significant loci ...

Your bile duct network is a true tree of life. A floppy, pink tree of life. The branches, smooth like spaghetti noodles, reach up to collect bile and waste from your gallbladder and liver. Farther ...

Primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis are the three major immune-mediated liver diseases. The etiologies of primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing ...
