Online now: Bile acids regulate lipid metabolism through selective actions on fatty acid absorption
Bile acids regulate lipid metabolism through selective actions on fatty acid absorption
As detergents, bile acids govern the intestinal uptake of dietary fats. By manipulating the bile acid pool size and composition, Chan et al. uncover how bile acids selectively regulate fatty acid absorption and gut hormone secretion to prevent obesity and metabolic disease.

Mouse studies highlight the therapeutic potential of existing and emerging strategies to manipulate the bile acid pool and to regulate dietary fat absorption across a spectrum of conditions—from malabsorptive disorders to cardiometabolic diseases www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

🚨Our new Cell Metabolism paper is PUBLISHED!🚨By targeting bile acids, we can promote selective fatty acid absorption to improve metabolic health. 🧬🍔 Studies co-led by UCLA STAR fellow Alvin Chan, postdoc Kelsey Jarrett, and grad student Rochelle Lai.

Mark your calendars & repost! Join us for the 2026 FASEB Lipid Droplets Conference!

July 26-30, 2026 in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona.

Best of all: The FASEB Lipid Droplet meeting is co-locating with the FASEB Phospholipid meeting. Two wonderful lipid communities brought together!

Excited to see my mentor’s achievements highlighted!
We're proud to celebrate Dr. Elizabeth Tarling who was honored with the American Heart Association ATVB Council Special Recognition Award in Vascular Biology for 2024. This award underscores her impactful research in lipid metabolism and heart disease: uclahs.fyi/3VkYDyx

At the suggestion of @conway-group.bsky.social I've created a starter pack to connect UCLA-based researchers on bluesky. If you want to be added, please let me know! go.bsky.app/A19PmEa
