Gut Microbiota-Liver Crosstalk

Objectives

  • Understand how altered gene expression in the intestines of patients with cirrhosis may contribute to gut dysbiosis and liver disease progression, revealing potential therapeutic targets.
  • Explore the protective role of intestinal epithelial cell osteopontin in NASH by influencing the gut microbiome, providing insights into novel NASH management strategies.
  • Analyze the impact of gut microbiota-derived metabolites on hepatic fibrosis and inflammation, evaluating their potential as therapeutic targets for liver diseases like primary sclerosing cholangitis and early NASH.
