Bile acids, once considered mere dietary surfactants, now emerge as critical modulators of
macronutrient (lipid, carbohydrate, protein) metabolism and the systemic pro …

Bile acids (BAs) can regulate their own metabolism and transport as well as other key
aspects of metabolic homeostasis via dedicated (nuclear and G protein-coupled) receptors …

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the control of
bile acid (BA) synthesis and enterohepatic circulation. FXR can influence glucose and lipid …

Over the past two decades, bile acids (BAs) have become established as important
signaling molecules that enable fine-tuned inter-tissue communication from the liver, their …

The Hippo signalling pathway has emerged as a major player in many aspects of liver
biology, such as development, cell fate determination, homeostatic function and …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of worldwide cancer mortality.
HCC almost exclusively develops in patients with chronic liver disease, driven by a vicious …

Bile acids (BAs) are cholesterol-derived metabolites that facilitate the intestinal absorption
and transport of dietary lipids. Recently, BAs also emerged as pivotal signaling molecules …

Bile acids participate in the intestinal emulsion, digestion, and absorption of lipids and fat-
soluble vitamins. When present in high concentrations, as in cholestatic liver diseases, bile …

This review encompasses the most important advances in liver functions and hepatotoxicity
and analyzes which mechanisms can be studied in vitro. In a complex architecture of nested …

The liver is the central metabolic hub which coordinates nutritional inputs and metabolic
outputs. Food intake releases bile acids which can be sensed by the bile acid receptor FXR …
