Common features between neoplastic and preneoplastic lesions of the biliary tract and the pancreas [PDF]
, 2019 The bile duct system and pancreas show many similarities due to their anatomical proximity and common embryological origin. Consequently, preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of the bile duct and pancreas share analogies in terms of molecular ...

BILIARY MICROBIOTA AND BILE DUCT DISEASES
Annals of the Russian academy of medical sciences, 2017 Traditionally, the biliary tract has been considered to be normally sterile, and the presence of microorganisms in bile is a marker of a pathological process. This assumption was confirmed by failure in allocation of bacterial strains from the normal bile duct. The paper provides rationale for a phenomenon of the normal biliary microbiota as a separate

Peribiliary glands are key in regeneration of the human biliary epithelium after severe bile duct injury [PDF]
, 2019 Peribiliary glands (PBG) are a source of stem/progenitor cells organized in a cellular network encircling large bile ducts. Severe cholangiopathy with loss of luminal biliary epithelium has been proposed to activate PBG, resulting in cell proliferation ...
