Show Notes: We welcome Analy Navarro, a mom who gave life twice. Analy's daughter was born with Biliary Atresia, a rare liver disease that affects 1 in every 12,000 infants worldwide. Analy's act of donation, along with her children's book, Mighty Me, showcases her commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others. She continues to promote hope, education and research for Biliary Atresia through the organization BA Hero. We chat about the power of delivering words of encouragement and honor hero Reed Hebert. Plus, check out our new spinoff podcast geared for healthcare professionals, Connected by Life.
A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 15, Issue 11, entitled, “Senescence and senotherapies in biliary atresia and biliary cirrhosis.” Premature senescence occurs in adult hepatobiliary diseases and worsens the prognosis through deleterious liver remodeling and hepatic dysfunction. Senescence might also arise in biliary atresia (BA), the first cause of pediatric liver transplantation. Alternatives to transplantation are needed. In this new study, researchers Giulia Jannone, Eliano Bonaccorsi Riani, Catherine de Magnée, Roberto Tambucci, Jonathan Evraerts, Joachim Ravau, Pamela Baldin, Caroline Bouzin, Axelle Loriot, Laurent Gatto, Anabelle Decottignies, Mustapha Najimi, and Etienne Marc Sokal from the Université catholique de Louvain in Brussels, Belgium, aimed to investigate premature senescence in BA and to assess senotherapies in a preclinical model of biliary cirrhosis. “As there is a need for new therapies to avoid or delay liver transplantation in pediatric biliary cirrhosis, the aim of our work was to investigate premature senescence in BA through a multi-technical approach and to assess senotherapies in a preclinical model of biliary cirrhosis.” BA liver tissues were prospectively obtained at hepatoportoenterostomy (n=5) and liver transplantation (n=30) and compared to controls (n=10). Senescence was investigated through spatial whole transcriptome analysis, SA-β-gal activity, p16 and p21 expression, γ-H2AX and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Human allogenic liver-derived progenitor cells (HALPC) or dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q) were administered to two-month-old Wistar rats after bile duct ligation (BDL). Advanced premature senescence was evidenced in BA livers from early stage and continued to progress until liver transplantation. Senescence and SASP were predominant in cholangiocytes, but also present in surrounding hepatocytes. HALPC but not D+Q reduced the early marker of senescence p21 in BDL rats and improved biliary injury (serum γGT and Sox9 expression) and hepatocytes mass loss (Hnf4a). “BA livers displayed advanced cellular senescence at diagnosis that continued to progress until liver transplantation. HALPC reduced early senescence and improved liver disease in a preclinical model of BA, providing encouraging preliminary results regarding the use of senotherapies in pediatric biliary cirrhosis.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204700 Corresponding author - Giulia Jannone - giulia.jannone@uclouvain.be Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://aging.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Faging.204700 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging - https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts Keywords - aging, senescence, senotherapy, liver, biliary cirrhosis, biliary atresia About Aging-US Launched in 2009, Aging-US publishes papers of general interest and biological significance in all fields of aging research and age-related diseases, including cancer—and now, with a special focus on COVID-19 vulnerability as an age-dependent syndrome.

In this episode I'm chatting with Shanny Fitzgerald on the Autism diagnosis of her son Reef, I also share my relatability, on the diagnosis of Biliary Atresia with my son Ari.More about Shanny: Wild Spark is a dynamic, balls-to-the-wall copywriting studio working with whip-smart upstarts around the world from a lil' slice of radness called Brisbane, Australia.Founded by Shan Fitzgerald, a bold, plucky, profesh-ish writer and former English teacher who knows her shit from her shiz, Wild Spark specialises in personality-fuelled copy for charismatic, human-AF brands that fly off the shelf. (Screen. Box. Whatever.)Shan's trademark #NoBS words have been used to sell scratch-made chicken nuggets in Los Angeles, featured on kid-friendly dinnerware sold in Japan, plastered (no pun intended) across witty wine bottles in New Zealand, and given life to sass-mouthed candles gracing the shelves of MYER stores Australia-wide.When she's not helping rad products get noticed for all the right reasons, you can find her talking about books 'n' booze on her podcast F*ck Your Book Club, posting snarky memes on her Insta (#ShamelessSelfPromo), or loving hard on her scuba instructor hubby, Dan, and adorable, amazingly Autistic son, Reef.

Analy Navarro, a Peachtree Corners resident, is a first-time author who was inspired by her daughter's liver transplant journey. Navarro became her daughter's living donor in 2018 and allowed this transformative experience to guide her into a new career as an author, an advocate for organ donation, and a leader in raising awareness and funds for Biliary Atresia. She joins Rico Figliolini on the Peachtree Corners Life podcast to discuss that journey.
If we are lucky, we will live a healthy and full life. But for some, the start can be a little rough. Jonah is one of them. Jonah was born in January of 2021. When he came home from the hospital, he was a little jaundiced, and his parents, Danielle and Sean Moore weren't overly concerned. But when it did not get better, more tests were done and Jonah was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia. The diagnosis would change their world. Jonah, at only a few months old, needed a liver transplant. Danielle was a perfect donor. Meanwhile, Sean, a firefighter with Anne Arundel County needed to hold it all together while caring for their other son. For sure, theirs is a story of love, commitment, and tenacity. But it is a story of thankfulness. For each other, for the fire department community, for friends and relatives, for strangers, and for family. And also, thankfulness for Jonah who is a fighter at 10-months of age, but with the help of those that love him, go on to do great things! This is a lifelong health concern for Jonah and his parents have set up a fund (to only be used for Jonah's costs to treat the BA)through the Children's Organ Transplant Association to handle some of his costs in the future--who knows what medicine will cost in 20 or 30 years? And through community donations and fundraisers, it is off to a great start! Have a listen first. And then read up, learn, and help if you can!

Surgeries populated her childhood years to correct Biliary Atresia, a congenital condition. Doctors performed operations on baby Tessa at two, three months and when she was a one-year-old. The procedures continued between ages four and five, but they were temporary measures until the unavoidable occurred. Her family remained brave, but the situation was dire. Tessa was in organ failure and needed a liver transplant to live.Listen as Tessa Farese talks about her story, her young donor, and what a blessing each day is for her and her young sons.
Mohit is a gem. He uses his music business, marketing, entrepreneurship and patient experience to advocate for equity in the healthcare system. A system he knows all too well. Mohit lived with Biliary Atresia, a rare disease that affects the bile ducts with no known cause. It’s no joke. About 85% of patients die before they are 2 years old. Mohit spent about 70% of the first eleven years of life in hospital. He experienced medical racism. He had a hard time making/maintaining friends his own age. And at a very young age received a liver transplant. Mohit has been through it all and we’re elated to have him be a part of our community.

Hannah kicks off the episode by sharing that she was born with Biliary Atresia, which affects the liver. It typically requires a transplant at some point and can be fatal. She talks about being in and out of the hospital growing up, but not allowing that to hold her back from what she wanted to do in life. She wanted to be as normal as possible and so she pushed to play sports, go to events and live a typical kid life. Hannah learned to be resilient at a young age. Even when sick, she would still attend sports competitions or games. She also got really into personal development, as she realized it was crucial in deciding what she wanted in life. The girls discuss with Hannah how her situation has tested her faith. Her struggle with being envious of her brother and his seemingly perfect life growing up. But she has come to realize that her life has been filled with blessings beyond compare. Erin and Rachel agree with her that hardships are typically blessings in disguise.
