Dynamics of hepatocyte-cholangiocyte cell-fate decisions during liver development and regeneration

Abstract excerpt

-differentiate to one another either directly or through intermediate progenitor states. However, the dynamic features of decision-making between these cell-fates during liver development and regeneration remains elusive. Here, we identify a core gene regulatory network comprising c/EBPα, TGFBR2, and SOX9 which is multistable in nature, enabling three distinct cell states - hepatocytes, cholangiocytes, and liver...
