An experimental drug developed at Michigan Medicine has reversed a serious form of fatty liver disease in animal studies by targeting an unexpected source of liver damage: the gut. The compound, known as DT-109, works by reducing harmful gut bacteria, protecting the intestinal lining, and preventing inflammatory substances from reaching the liver. According to findings published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation, this approach successfully reversed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) in animal models, offering a promising new strategy for treating a disease that remains difficult to manage.

Repairing the economic damage of Brexit should be the top priority for Andy Burnham as he reconsiders Labour’s red lines on EU membership, the head of one of Britain’s leading business groups has said. Shevaun Haviland, the director general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said she welcomed the prime minister reopening the Brexit battle lines despite the uncertainty it could create, arguing that the UK’s current trading relationship with the EU was bad for business. “We do think it’s right, because of what we know from the evidence of how businesses feel it’s not working,” she said. Highlighting the continuing economic hit from Brexit, Haviland said more than half of bosses surveyed by the business lobby group believed the deal negotiated by Boris Johnson’s government and enacted in 2021 was not helping them. “We expected it to be very difficult at the beginning, when [companies] were getting used to the new rules, and then it would sort of get easier as it went to along. But actually, that has not happened,” she said.
