Fatty diets disrupt mucus–microbiome–metabolite interactions to increase intestinal lipid uptake
Nature Microbiology, Published online: 19 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02402-7Dietary lipids disturb colonic microbiota–mucus interactions and microbial transformation of host-derived bile acids. This altered bile acid pool triggers increased lipid absorption in the small intestine, revealing an unexpected link between the colonic mucus niche and small intestinal lipid metabolism.
