Molecular and cellular mechanisms of liver fibrosis and its regression.

TL;DR: This Review summarizes studies of the molecular mechanisms underlying the reversibility of liver fibrosis, including apoptosis and the inactivation of hepatic stellate cells, the crosstalk between the liver and the systems that orchestrate the recruitment of bone marrow-derived macrophages driving fibrosis resolution, and the interactions between various cell types that lead to the intracellular signalling that induces fibrosis or its regression.

Bile Acid Metabolism and Signaling in Cholestasis, Inflammation, and Cancer.

TL;DR: The mechanisms that regulate bile acid homeostasis and detoxification during cholestasis are covered, and the roles of bile acids in the initiation and regulation of hepatic inflammation, regeneration, and carcinogenesis are covered.

IL-17 and Th17 Cells.

TL;DR: The investigation of the differentiation, effector function, and regulation of Th17 cells has opened up a new framework for understanding T cell differentiation and now appreciate the importance of Th 17 cells in clearing pathogens during host defense reactions and in inducing tissue inflammation in autoimmune disease.

Diagnosis and Management of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

TL;DR: Intended for use by physicians, these recommendations suggest preferred approaches to the diagnostic, therapeutic and preventative aspects of care that are intended to be flexible, in contrast to standards of care, which are inflexible policies to be followed in every case.
