Pancreatic Progenitors and Organoids as a Prerequisite to Model Pancreatic Diseases and Cancer.

abstract：:Whether liver epithelial cells contribute to the development of hepatic scarring by undergoing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a controversial issue. Herein, we revisit the concept of EMT in cholangiopathies, a group of severe hepatic disorders primarily targeting the bile duct epithelial cell (cholangio...
