Single cell analysis of human foetal liver captures the transcriptional profile of hepatobiliary hybrid progenitors

The liver parenchyma consists of several cell types, but the origin of this tissue in humans is unclear. Here, the authors perform single cell RNA sequencing of human fetal and adult liver to identify a hepatobiliary hybrid progenitor population of cells, which have a similar gene signature to mouse...
