Objective To summarize the research progress of tissue engineered bile duct in recent years.Methods This paper summarized recently-published papers related to tissue-engineered bile duct on in vitro test platform, scaffold materials, acquisition methods of seed cells, and in vivo repair effectiveness after the fusion of seed cells and materials, in an attempt to review the basic and clinical application studies of tissue-engineered bile duct.Results Tissue-engineered bile duct had been developing rapidly. At present, great progress had been made in the fields of in vitro test platform, scaffold materials, seed cells, and repair effectiveness in animal models. However, further study was still needed in terms of its clinical application. The external bile duct platform included 3D printing and biological simulation; in the aspect of scaffold material, apart from the progress of various artificial materials, acellular matrix was introduced; the selection of seed cells included the induction and differentiation of bile duct-derived stem cells, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), hepatic oval cell (HOC), pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), and other stem cells; animal models of tissue-engineered bile ducts had also achieved good results in animals such as pigs and dogs.Conclusion The development of tissue-engineered bile duct will promote the progress of fundamental in vitro studies on extrahepatic biliary tract diseases, thus introducing new options to the clinical treatment of extrahepatic biliary tract injuries.
