Biliary ductal cells proliferate from the portal areas of chronically damaged livers, but their significance to regeneration has been controversial. A recent article in Nature by Raven et al. (2017) now shows that blocking hepatocyte replication is essential for the hepatic differentiation of ductular cells after liver damage.

胆管细胞：对肝再生反应不再有灰姑娘。

胆管细胞从慢性受损肝脏的门户区域扩散，但是它们对再生的重要性一直存在争议。Raven等人在《自然》杂志上最近发表的一篇文章。（2017）现在表明，阻断肝细胞复制对于肝损伤后导管细胞的肝分化至关重要。
