General

During this Research meeting you will discover the role of bile salt as hormones that can dampen steatosis and inflammation, how foamy, lipid-laden macrophages affect atherosclerotic disease, and how unnecessary anti-anaerobic antibiotics may harm sepsis patients by disrupting vital gut microbes — and how one PhD student took this insight from the bench to international guidelines in just four years.
