Liver injury promotes the outgrowth of cell types that are relatively rare in healthy livers, including progenitors and stromal cells. A new study shows that the type of injury influences the cellular composition of the liver progenitor niche, which then seems to direct the fate of progenitors during regeneration (pages 572–579).
