Unconjugated bilirubin induces neuro-inflammation in an induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical organoid model of Crigler Najjar Syndrome
2023-07-12
Abstract excerpt
Bilirubin-induced neurological damage (BIND), which is also known as Kernicterus, occurs as a consequence of defects in the bilirubin conjugation machinery, thus resulting in unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) to cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and accumulation. Severe hyperbilirubinemia can be caused by a mutation within the UGT1A1 encoding gene. This mutation has a direct contribution towards bilirubin conjugatio...
