Unique DUOX2+ACE2+ small cholangiocytes are pathogenic targets for primary biliary cholangitis

The aetiology of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) remains unclear. Here, the authors find that the numbers of DUOX2 + ACE2 + small cholangiocytes in human and mouse livers are inversely associated with disease severity, and present data indicating that they may be the target of polymeric immunoglob...
