And on World Microbiome Day, we have something special to release.
Possibly too special.

The small intestine is increasingly recognised as a potential site of pathological gut-liver communication in liver disease.
Was proud to present our recent work on the involvement of the ileum and bile acid signalling in PSC at this years #EASLCongress @easlnews.bsky.social
Great to see Nick in action at the #EASLCongress this year, presenting his work on the gut-liver axis in PSC!
Nick’s abstract was also featured in the best at EASL showcase, titled “Microbially deconjugated bile acid-mediated ileal barrier function deficit”👏👨🔬🎉

Excellent day at Westgate today for the Oxford BRC public engagement day! It was great to have the giant gut wall out on a sunny Thursday, and lots of bacteria Pom Poms were made!🦠☀️

Check out @nickilott.bsky.social’s talk on bile acid-mediated gut barrier dysfunction in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) at #EASL2026.
A great opportunity to hear about important gut–liver axis research from Oxford microbiome scientists.
