Metastasis-initiating cells are considered to originate from stem cell-like cancer cells. In hepatocellular carcinoma, liver progenitor-like cells are reported to be derived from hepatocytes, indicating the possible acquisition of metastatic potential during hepatocyte-to-cholangiocyte transdifferentiation. Consistent with the expression pattern observed during ductal plate formation, we revealed an LPC transition with Onecut1 accumulation both during hepatocyte-to-cholangiocyte transdifferentiation and in a cell model. This event may be associated with transient acquisition of metastatic potential.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
