Autophagy regulates proliferation and biliary differentiation of hepatic oval cells via the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.

In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that autophagy regulates proliferation and biliary differentiation of HOCs via the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. These results suggest a role for autophagy in stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of HOCs. PMID: 29207082 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
