Autophagy regulates biliary differentiation of hepatic progenitor cells through Notch1 signaling pathway

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy plays important roles in self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells. Hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) are thought to have the ability of self-renewal as well as possess a bipotential capacity, which allows them to differentiate into both hepatocytes and bile ductular cells. However, how autophagy contributes to self-renewal and differentiation of hepatic progenitor cells is not well understood. In...
