The inner lining of bile ducts consists of cells called cholangiocytes. The first step in generating bile ducts in vitro is therefore to procure extrahepatic cholangiocytes.

Bile duct cancer, or cholangiocarcinoma, is a malignant tumour of either the bile ducts within the liver (intrahepatic), or those leading from the liver to the small intestine (extrahepatic).
