Pancreas oganogenesis comprises a coordinated and highly complex interplay of signaling
events and transcriptional networks that guide a step‐wise process of organ development …

The biliary tree is composed of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts, lined by mature
epithelial cells called cholangiocytes, and contains peribiliary glands deep within the duct …

Multipotent stem/progenitors are present in peribiliary glands of extrahepatic biliary trees
from humans of all ages and in high numbers in hepato‐pancreatic common duct, cystic …

Stem/progenitors have been identified intrahepatically in the canals of Hering and
extrahepatically in glands of the biliary tree. Glands of the biliary tree (peribiliary glands) are …

The ventral pancreas, biliary system, and liver arise from the posterior ventral foregut, but the
cell-intrinsic pathway by which these organ lineages are separated is not known. Here we …

In embryonic development, the pancreas and liver share developmental history up to the
stage of bud formation. Therefore, we postulated that direct reprogramming of liver to …

The Notch pathway is an evolutionary conserved, intercellular signaling pathway that plays
an important role in cell fate specification and the embryonic development of many organs …

The neonatal crystallizable fragment receptor (FcRn) is responsible for maintaining the long
half-life and high levels of the two most abundant circulating proteins, albumin and IgG. In …

The pancreas has been the subject of intense research due to the debilitating diseases that
result from its dysfunction. In this review, we summarize current understanding of the critical …

Peribiliary glands (PBGs) in bile duct walls, and pancreatic duct glands (PDGs) associated
with pancreatic ducts, in humans of all ages, contain a continuous, ramifying network of cells …
