Activation of ER stress and subsequent loss of stemness of ISCs plays a critical role in BDL-induced systemic inflammation and cholestatic liver injury. Modulation of the ER stress response represents a potential therapeutic strategy for cholestatic liver diseases as well as other inflammatory diseases. (Hepatology 2018;67:1441-1457).
