Exciting times!!

This *seems* to be about the extrahepatice bile duct (which is the biggest one which comes from the liver) but it is an exciting development.

[drewh in reply to PBCRobert]

Yes, I think you are probably right, so it's not yet clear in what circumstances it would be useful with respect to PBC. Maybe it is one more step to an alternative treatment.

This is a wonderful development - let us hope us pbcers can benefit too. Thank you for sharing - I feel more optimistic ☺
