Update on pharmacotherapies for cholestatic liver disease

Ahmad H. Ali, James H. Tabibian, Keith D. Lindor – 21 December 2016 – Cholestatic liver diseases are conditions with impaired bile formation and/or flow due to genetic, immunologic, environmental, or other causes. Unless successfully treated, this can lead to chronic liver injury and end‐stage liver disease. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) embody the most prominent adult cholestatic liver diseases with regard to incidence, morbidity, and mortality.

New therapeutic concepts in bile acid transport and signaling for management of cholestasis

Michael Trauner, Claudia Daniela Fuchs, Emina Halilbasic, Gustav Paumgartner – 20 December 2016 – The identification of the key regulators of bile acid (BA) synthesis and transport within the enterohepatic circulation has revealed potential targets for pharmacological therapies of cholestatic liver diseases.

The core domain of hepatitis C virus glycoprotein E2 generates potent cross‐neutralizing antibodies in guinea pigs

Patricia T. Vietheer, Irene Boo, Jun Gu, Kathleen McCaffrey, Stirling Edwards, Catherine Owczarek, Matthew P. Hardy, Louis Fabri, Rob J. Center, Pantelis Poumbourios, Heidi E. Drummer – 20 December 2016 – A vaccine that prevents hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is urgently needed to support an emerging global elimination program. However, vaccine development has been confounded because of HCV's high degree of antigenic variability and the preferential induction of type‐specific immune responses with limited potency against heterologous viral strains and genotypes.
