Scientists have uncovered how a gut bacterium, Clostridium scindens, aids in healing intestinal injuries by restoring bile acid balance. Their findings could pave the way for new treatments for ...

Dr Ranjan explains that bile acids are produced in the liver and help digest fats. After aiding digestion, they are reabsorbed in the terminal ileum (part of the small intestine) and return to the ...

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 ...
