New research reveals that specialized gut bacteria convert bile acids into powerful healing compounds, offering hope for ...

Intestinal detoxification receptors and the VDR share ligands and target genes. It has been shown that primary bile acids are capable of inducing cathelicidin gene expression in biliary epithelial ...

When mothers eat a diet high in fat and sugars, their unborn babies can develop liver stress that continues into early life. A new study sheds light on changes to the fetus's bile acid, which affects ...

When mothers eat a diet high in fat and sugars, their unborn babies can develop liver stress that continues into early life. A new study published in the journal Liver International sheds light on ...

The research teams led by Kristina Schoonjans and Rizlan Bernier-Latmani at EPFL, have identified Clostridium scindens, a bacterium that converts primary bile acids into 7α-dehydroxylated bile ...

The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a bile acid nuclear receptor that plays a crucial role in regulating bile acid and sterol metabolism.

The high-fat diet also led to changes in how some liver genes worked, particularly those related to bile acid processing.

PFIC is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that children must inherit two copies of a relevant mutated gene ...
