Liver tissue predominantly consists of hepatocytes, which carry out metabolic functions and are responsible for bile production, and biliary cells or cholangiocytes, which line biliary ducts through which bile flows to the digestive tract. These two cell populations originate from common precursors called hepatoblasts. In mice, hepatocyte and biliary lineages segregate at embryonic stage E13. This process is controlled by a network of transcription factors. Biliary cells differentiate around branches of the portal vein and constitute a ring of cells, the ductal plate, where biliary duct formation is initiated. In order to characterize the transcriptional control network involved in biliary duct development, we have first identified new mark...
