Core Tip Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease with limited therapeutic options. A recent study using a mouse model of PBC found that nanoparticles encapsulating rapamycin treatment reduced the levels of autoreactive T cells and B cells in the liver and spleen, improved liver inflammation and enzyme levels, and was associated with a concomitant decrease in anti-mitochondrial antibody levels. These findings indicate that nanoparticles encapsulating rapamycin may improve liver pathology in the PBC mouse model through mammalian target of rapamycin inhibition and potential autophagy restoration, suggesting it could represent a novel therapeutic option for this chronic disease.
