A Review in Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology discusses how diet shapes the gut #microbiome, the role of diet–microbiome interactions on the immune, nervous and cardiometabolic systems, and implications for dietary guidelines and precision nutrition. go.nature.com/41F8baD #medsky 🧪
This is figure 1, which shows the dietary orchestration of gut barrier and immunity is linked to the microbiome.

Lessons from incretin-based therapy in MASH and obesity
Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Published online: 27 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41575-025-01096-2Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists are effective pharmacotherapies for the treatment of obesity and related disorders. In metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis with moderate to advanced fibrosis, semaglutide improved liver histology over 72 weeks. In another new study, tirzepatide was superior to semaglutide in reducing body weight in individuals with obesity.
