A transferable gut microbiota–bile acid pathway programs nanomedicine pharmacokinetics and therapeutic response

Covers how gut microbiota–bile acid signaling alters liver macrophage uptake and thereby changes nanomedicine biodistribution and tumor delivery.

Key Takeaways
  • Clinical efficacy of nanomedicines is often limited by hepatic sequestration
  • Gut-bacteria-derived bile acids induce Kupffer cell phagocytosis
  • Repository is supported by NIH grants U2C-DK119886 and OT2-OD030544
