Abstract

Unraveling and replicating how cells communicate to regenerate organs remains one of the most compelling biological problems of our time. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Cordero-Espinoza et. al (2021) untangle how a subpopulation of liver mesenchymal cells residing adjacent to the bile ducts regulate biliary cell proliferation.
