'Northwest Passage' mechanism of bile acid transport reveals a voltagedependent pathway
Feb 02, 2026
In a study published in Nature on January 28, a research team led by Eric H. Xu (Xu Huaqiang) from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Ma Xiong from Renji Hospital, determined how Ostα/β transports bile acids and why it differs fundamentally from
previously characterized carriers through cryo-EM structure determination, molecular dynamics simulations, and electrophysiological analyses. ...read more read less
