The study will ask participants to provide bile and/or bile duct cytology brushings at time of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). The bile and brushings will be used to generate and perpetuate bile-derived organoids using an established matrigel-based protocol. These organoids will then be used in downstream experiments to better understand disease-specific alterations to biological pathways informative of disease pathogenesis
