miR-22 inhibition reduces hepatic steatosis via FGF21 and FGFR1 induction
Background & Aims: Metabolism supports cell proliferation and growth. Surprisingly, the tumor suppressor miR-22 is induced by metabolic stimulators like bile acids. Thus, this study examines whether miR-22 could be a metabolic silencer.

Impact of Primary and Secondary Bile Acids on Clostridioides difficile Infection
Primary bile acids (BAs), synthesized from cholesterol in the liver, after their secretion with bile into the intestinal lumen, are transformed by gut microbiota to secondary BAs. As natural detergents, BAs play a key role in the digestion and absorption
