Progress in uncovering the causes of extrahepatic biliary diseases and developing new therapies has been constrained by the inaccessibility of donor tissue and a lack of experimental models. Although hepatic, intrahepatic biliary, and pancreatic 2D/3D models have been successfully established from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), in vitro generation of extrahepatic biliary cells remains a major challenge, due to the absence of developmental cues. Here we report a de novo method for directed differentiation of human PSCs (both embryonic and induced) into pancreato-biliary progenitors-like cells (PBPLCs).

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with biliary stenting reportedly has better efficacy and safety in the treatment of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHC). Considering the shortcomings of traditional PDT methods, we proposed a novel modified approach, defined as initial biliary stent placement followed by PDT, for the treatment of EHC. The study aimed to evaluate the effect and safety of biliary stent placement prior to PDT versus only stent placement on the treatment of EHC.

Background: Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses significant treatment challenges, with limited options and poor prognosis. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has emerged as a promising therapy, potentially offering superior outcomes compared to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). This study aimed to systematically compare the survival outcomes and safety profiles of HAIC versus TACE in patients with advanced HCC, and to identify key prognostic factors influencing treatment efficacy to guide personalized therapeutic strategies.

Background: Bleeding from esophageo-gastric varices is a serious complication related to portal hypertension. In patients with cirrhosis, liver and splenic stiffness measurements (LSM and SSM) are useful to predict high-risk varices, bleeding and decompensation. Data regarding the utility of SSM for predicting bleeding in patients with non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) is scarce.

The advent of targeted therapy and immunotherapy has revolutionised the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with all stages, dramatically improving their survival outcomes. Currently, radical resection is still the preferred first-line treatment for early-stage HCC, nevertheless, the surgical outcomes remain unsatisfactory due to high recurrence rate of 70% within 5 years after surgery. Moreover, up to two thirds of diagnosed HCC patients are in the advanced stages of the disease, exhibiting intrahepatic or extrahepatic metastases and vascular invasion.
