Stromal TF positivity was found exclusively in ongoing inflammation.<b>Conclusion:</b> Our study provides additional support for a divergent pathogenesis in PSC-UC, with an inflammatory environment that differs from classical UC.
PD-L1 expression correlated with CD47 expression, and PD-L1/CD47 co-expression correlated with poorer prognosis and may serve as a predictive biomarker for combined dual-targeting immunotherapy in PSC patients.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of MET ex14 skipping mutation in PSC patients without common targetable mutations in EGFR, KRAS, ALK, ROS1, and RET.
In this study, effects of PSC conditioned medium (PCM) on c-MET phosphorylation (by immunocytochemistry enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)) and drug response (by sulforhodamine B assay) were investigated in five primary PDAC cells.
Our study characterizes the genetic background of Chinese PSC patients and demonstrates the importance of involving EGFR rare mutations and MET exon 14 skipping targeted therapies into clinical trials for treating PSC patients.
Among 75 patients with active IBD and PSC treated with vedolizumab, 21 patients discontinued vedolizumab before Week 30 [due to lack of efficacy in 19 and malignancy in two patients].
Significantly, we observed RLX-SPION retarded the tumor growth by itself and also potentiated the effect of gemcitabine in a subcutaneous co-injection (Panc1 and hPSCs) tumor model.
PNPLA3p.I148M and TM6SF2 p.E167K variants do not predispose to liver injury in cholestatic liver diseases: A prospective analysis of 178 patients with PSC.

PSC monocytes expressed significantly less IL-12p70 (108 pg/ml, mean) and IL-23 (358 pg/ml) compared to HC (458 pg/ml and 951 pg/ml, respectively) (p < 0.01, p < 0.05).
We detected MET exon14 alterations using both targeted DNA- and RNA-based Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and elucidated the driver mutation profile of 77 Chinese PSC patients.
In addition, miR-21 expression in activated PSCs was downregulated after RSV treatment, whereas the PTEN protein level increased. miR-21 silencing attenuated ROS-induced activation, invasion, migration, and glycolysis of PSCs, whereas the overexpression of miR-21 rescued the responses of PSCs treated with RSV.
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 or membrane type-1 MMP (MT1MMP) knockdown in PSCs significantly attenuated BM destruction by PSCs, and retained the ductal structures in organoids.
PSC and ASC are increasing in relevance along with IBD and reflect increasing performance of magnetic resonance cholangio-pancreatography and colonoscopy.
We observed the development of the TRP2-specific iPSC-CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells that responded to Ag stimulation and infiltrated into melanoma tissues, significantly inhibited the tumor growth, and improved the survival of the tumor-bearing mice.
We investigated the accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ1-40, Aβ1-42, Aβ1-43) in the lens epithelium of patients with opacification of five different types (cortical cataract [COR]; nuclear cataract [NUC]; posterior subcapsular cataract [PSC]; retrodots [RD]; and water clefts [WC]).

Members of the International PSC Study Group and radiologists from North America and Europe have compiled the following position statement to provide guidance regarding the application of MRI in the care of PSC patients, minimum imaging standards, and future areas of research.(Hepatology 2017;66:1675-1688).
No significant difference was observed between the apoptotic intensity of PSC treated with ABZs and that of PSC treated with ABZs-loaded PLGA-PEG (P > 0.05).
