A classification of ductal plate malformations based on distinct pathogenic mechanisms of biliary dysmorphogenesis

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Ductal plate malformations (DPMs) are developmental anomalies considered to result from lack of ductal plate remodeling during bile duct morphogenesis. In mice, bile duct development is initiated by the formation of primitive ductal structures lined by two cell types, namely ductal plate cells and hepatoblasts. During ductal plate remodeling, the primitive ductal structures mature to ducts as a result...
