The cell of origin of cholangiocarcinoma. Schematic micrograph of lineage tracing experiments in mouse demonstrating the contribution of cytokeratin-19-positive ductular cells and albumin or transthyretin-positive hepatocytes to the formation of tumours exhibiting biliary differentiation. Cholangiocarcinoma can arise from either cholangiocytes, immature ductules or through transdifferentiation of hepatocytes
