Caroli disease is an infrequent congenital pathology that is part of the spectrum of fibrocystic diseases, characterized mainly by malformation of bile ducts. These patients often have stones and cholangitis, which respond poorly to conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. To date, there is little evidence on the usefulness of cholangioscopy in this disease, so we describe the experience of performing cholangioscopy in a patient with hepatolithiasis and Caroli disease.

V-ATPase in glioma stem cells: a novel metabolic vulnerability.
J Exp Clin Cancer Res

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal brain tumor characterized by the glioma stem cell (GSC) niche. The V-ATPase proton pump has been described as a crucial factor in sustaining GSC viability and tumorigenicity. Here we studied how patients-derived GSCs rely on V-ATPase activity to sustain mitochondrial bioenergetics and cell growth.

Biliary and peribiliary cystic lesions represent a diverse group of abnormalities, often discovered incidentally during imaging for unrelated conditions. These lesions, typically asymptomatic, necessitate precise imaging modalities to characterize their nature and determine subsequent clinical actions, such as follow-up imaging, biopsy, or surgical referral. The anatomic location of these cystic lesions, whether biliary or peribiliary, influences both diagnostic and prognostic outcomes.

Background: Caroli's disease, an autosomal recessive, hereditary-related disorder, is a rare disease, in which the diagnosis is based primarily on medical imaging and pathophysiological examinations. It is characterized by intrahepatic cystic dilation or cysts. Hepatic resection of diseased lobes can cure or avoid the risk of malignancy.
