Synthesized in the liver, bile acids play diverse roles in digestion and metabolism. However, when their processes are disrupted, disease can occur. Scientists seek advanced technologies to better ...

Our gut is a bustling hub of activity, home to trillions of microbes that work together with our bodies to keep us healthy. A recent study explores one fascinating aspect of this partnership: how gut ...

This helps improve fat metabolism by aiding in the breakdown and processing of fat. When gut bacteria produce large amounts of bile acids that activate FXR and reduce bile production, the body ...

While studying mouse and human liver tumors, they discovered that certain bile acids in the liver could affect the activity of cancer-fighting immune cells, called T cells. The researchers ...

This altered form, called bile acid-methylcysteamine (BA-MCY), inhibits FXR to promote bile production and help boost fat metabolism. "Our study reveals there is a dialogue occurring between the ...
