Tissue scarring provides a biomechanical framework to promote mammalian bile duct regeneration through the activation of integrin-SRC/FAK signalling. Open
Following chronic injury, the adult mammalian bile duct regenerates by forming new branches, essentially replumbing the ductular system to overcome blockages and breaks. To regenerate effectively, biliary epithelial cells (BECs) receive a …
