Liver stiffness promotes intrahepatic cholesterol accumulation by repressing LXRα through YAP/TAZ activation. Stiff matrices impair cholesterol efflux in hepatocytes, while YAP/TAZ deletion restores LXRα activity and prevents cholesterol‐induced fibrosis.

Evolution of the bile salt nuclear receptor FXR in vertebrates*s⃞
Bile salts, the major end metabolites of cholesterol, vary significantly in structure across vertebrate species, suggesting that nuclear receptors binding these molecules may show adaptive evolutionary changes.

Acid and bile salts induce DNA damage in human oesophageal cell lines [PDF]
Barrett's oesophagus is an acquired precancerous condition that develops from mucosal injury incurred due to chronic gastro-oesophageal reflux. The aim of this study was to determine if bile and/or acid components of the refluxate can induce DNA damage in vitro.

A microenvironment self‐adaptive nanoarmor is developed to effectively address the adhesion‐ and colonization‐related challenges posed by multiple physiological and pathological characteristics in the intestine. L. plantarum@MPN@CS showed significant therapeutic potential in treating Parkinson's disease (PD), a model for extraintestinal disorders, as ...

Perinatal bile acid metabolism: analysis of urinary bile acids in pregnant women and newborns
The metabolism of bile acids in 30 pregnant women was evaluated by analyzing the urinary composition of bile acids during late gestation (weeks 30-41) and again in these women and their newborn infants during the first week after delivery.

Pruritus commonly occurs in patients with cholestatic liver diseases. Pruritus that is refractory to pharmacological treatment may be an indication for liver transplantation [1–3]. Pathogenesis of hepatic pruritus is still not fully understood.

This study analyzes gut bacteria in cholangiocarcinoma patients, revealing distinct microbial signatures that enable accurate disease detection. Species‐based diagnostic models achieved over 98% accuracy in identifying cholangiocarcinoma and distinguished it from other liver diseases. The research demonstrates that specific beneficial bacteria suppress

Diabetes is an independent risk factor for gallstones. It upregulates CXCR2 expression in hepatic neutrophils, stimulating the formation of NETs that disrupt hepatocellular tight junctions and the liver‐bile barrier. NETs enter bile to accelerate gallstone development, while sarcosine inhibits CXCR2 and NETs production, effectively reducing diabetes ...

Identification of Bile Acids Responsible for Inhibiting the Bile Salt Export Pump, Leading to Bile Acid Accumulation and Cell Toxicity in Rat Hepatocytes [PDF]
Inhibition of bile salt export pump (BSEP) causes hepatic accumulation of toxic bile acid (BA), leading to hepatocyte death. We reported a sandwich-cultured hepatocyte (SCH)-based model that can estimate potential cholestatic compounds by assessing their ability to induce hepatotoxicity in combination with a titrated amount of human 12 BA species ...
