Bile Acid Metabolism as a Unifying Readout for Diet, Microbiome Function, and Gastrointestinal Disease
Bile acid biology has advanced through significant conceptual shifts. Once understood primarily as biological detergents, bile acids are now recognized as signaling molecules and, more recently, as a chemically diverse set of host‐ and microbe‐derived metabolites. The 2020 discovery of microbially conjugated bile acids...
