<description><![CDATA[<strong>Technology collaboration - 11 NL 60FI 3N0K <span style="background-color:RED;color:white;padding:3px;">OFFER</span></strong><br><br>Scientists at a Dutch University medical center have discovered that different forms of cholestasis and primary biliary cirrhosis are correlated with the cholestasis-associated pruritus (itch) and serum autotaxin levels. As there is no satisfactory drug against various forms of pruritus, administration of an inhibitor of autotaxin could provide a better alternative to reduce itch perception.
