The expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related proteins in biliary epithelial cells is associated with liver fibrosis in biliary atresia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Children born preterm, especially boys, are at increased risk of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning difficulties. We propose that neurosteroid-replacement therapy with ganaxolone (GNX) following preterm birth may mitigate preterm-associated neurodevelopmental impairment. ...
