The work of liver stem cell biologists, largely carried out in rodent models, has now started to manifest in human investigations and applications. We can now recognize complex regenerative processes in tissue specimens that had only been suspected for decades, but we also struggle to describe what

Severe loss of bile ducts is a hallmark of chronic liver rejection. We hypothesize that loss of the finest branches of the biliary tree, including the intralobular segments, contributes to an impaired regenerative response of bile ducts in chronic rejection. The number and proliferative response of
Mucin plays an important role in the development of hepatoliths, which are formed within the intrahepatic large bile ducts. To date, eight apomucins, components of mucin, have been identified. The purpose of this study is to characterize the expression of MUC1, MUC2, MUC3, MUC5, and MUC6 apomucins a
