The Transcription Factor EB (TFEB) is known to regulate cellular homeostasis and energy metabolism, but its role in cell fate determination in the liver is unknown. Here, the authors show that TFEB regulates the progenitor/cholangiocyte lineage and that its depletion prevents tissue recovery upon injury.
