In brief
This research investigates how autoantibodies against polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) carried in circulating vesicles contribute to bile duct damage in biliary atresia, a rare pediatric cholestatic condition. The findings may reveal novel autoimmune mechanisms underlying BA pathogenesis and progression.
