    Bile acids (BAs) function as lipid-digesting molecules and signaling mediators in metabolism and immune regulation.

  • 2

    Microbiota-driven modifications of BAs enhance their diversity and link gut dysbiosis to metabolic disorders and inflammation.

  • 3

    Novel BA modifications, such as 3-succinylated cholic acid, show potential in treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.

  • 4

    Therapeutic strategies targeting BA signaling pathways, including FXR and TGR5, are being explored for various diseases.

  • 5

    Advancements in multi-omics and AI approaches are accelerating the translation of BA-based interventions into clinical practice.
