Hot Off The Press (August/September 2008)
About 1,000 new publications are added to the PSC Literature database every month. We are particularly interested in compiling new literature on primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), related liver diseases such as primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and overlap syndromes, inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), and nutritional factors (e.g. vitamins) influencing the immune system. Here are our picks for the most significant 20 papers published in August/September 2008:
