Open AccessImpact of regular additional endobiliary radiofrequency ablation on survival of patients with advanced extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma under systemic chemotherapy
Prognosis of patients with advanced extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (eCCA) is poor. The current standard first-line treatment is systemic chemotherapy (CT) with gemcitabine and a platinum derivate. Additionall...

Open AccessNEK1-mediated retromer trafficking promotes blood–brain barrier integrity by regulating glucose metabolism and RIPK1 activation
Loss-of-function mutations in NEK1 gene, which encodes a serine/threonine kinase, are involved in human developmental disorders and ALS. Here we show that NEK1 regulates retromer-mediated endosomal trafficking by...

Open AccessUbiquitination of RIPK1 regulates its activation mediated by TNFR1 and TLRs signaling in distinct manners
RIPK1 is a death-domain (DD) containing kinase involved in regulating apoptosis, necroptosis and inflammation. RIPK1 activation is known to be regulated by its DD-mediated interaction and ubiquitination, thoug...

Open AccessTranspapillary tissue sampling of biliary strictures: balloon dilatation prior to forceps biopsy improves sensitivity and accuracy
The early and definitive diagnosis of malignant bile duct stenoses is essential for a timely and adequate therapy. However, tissue sampling with transpapillary brush cytology (BC) or forceps biopsy (FB) remain...

A dominant autoinflammatory disease caused by non-cleavable variants of RIPK1
Activation of RIPK1 controls TNF-mediated apoptosis, necroptosis and inflammatory pathways1. Cleavage of human and mouse RIPK1 after residues D324 and D325, respectively, by caspase-8 separates the RIPK1 kinase d...
