Article Synopsis
- This study explored how epithelial repair and immune cell presence affect biliary complications in liver transplant patients, analyzing data from 41 individuals.
- It found that damaged bile ducts (BDs) in patients without complications showed higher levels of key proteins (E-cadherin and cytokeratin) and a stronger immune response compared to those with complications.
- The research suggests that better regenerative ability of biliary epithelium and a robust infiltration of adaptive immune cells may enhance recovery of bile ducts after cold storage, potentially predicting complications.
