Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatology
  • Biliary Physiology

Background:

  • The gallbladder's function is traditionally viewed as absorptive.
  • Emerging evidence suggests a potential secretory role for the gallbladder mucosa.
  • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) can lead to biliary strictures, isolating the gallbladder.
