Taylor S, Harpavat S, Gromer K, Andreev V, Loomes K, Bezerra J, et al.
Pediatr Res . 2025 Jan; PMID: 39881181
Background: The immune heterogeneity of biliary atresia (BA) presents a challenge for development of prognostic biomarkers. This study aimed to identify early immune signatures associated with biliary drainage after Kasai...

Hepatology . 2024 Mar; 80(1):152-162. PMID: 38446707
Background And Aims: High levels of serum matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) have been linked to biliary atresia (BA), with wide variation in concentration cutoffs. We investigated the accuracy of serum MMP-7...

Squires J, Miethke A, Valencia C, Hawthorne K, Henn L, Van Hove J, et al.
Hepatol Commun . 2023 May; 7(6). PMID: 37184518
Background: Alterations in both mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA genes affect mitochondria function, causing a range of liver-based conditions termed mitochondrial hepatopathies (MH), which are subcategorized as mtDNA depletion,...

Russi A, Shivakumar P, Luo Z, Bezerra J
Hepatology . 2023 Apr; 78(4):1035-1049. PMID: 37078450
Background And Aims: Although a dysregulated type 1 immune response is integral to the pathogenesis of biliary atresia, studies in both humans and mice have uncovered a type 2 response,...

Felzen A, van Wessel D, Gonzales E, Thompson R, Jankowska I, Shneider B, et al.
JHEP Rep . 2023 Jan; 5(2):100626. PMID: 36687469
Background & Aims: Bile salt export pump (BSEP) deficiency frequently necessitates liver transplantation in childhood. In contrast to two predicted protein truncating mutations (PPTMs), homozygous p.D482G or p.E297G mutations are...

Hepatology . 2022 Sep; 77(3):862-873. PMID: 36131538
Background And Aims: In biliary atresia, serum bilirubin is commonly used to predict outcomes after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP). Infants with persistently high levels invariably need liver transplant, but those achieving...
