Core Tip Bile acids (BAs) exert complex, structure-dependent regulatory effects on the Hippo-yes-associated protein pathway in gastrointestinal malignancies. These editorial highlights a pivotal “bidirectional switch” mechanism where glycochenodeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid induce opposing outcomes in cholangiocarcinoma. By integrating the physicochemical distinctions between conjugated and unconjugated BAs with their dynamic interplay in gut microbiota dysbiosis, we propose a multidimensional “microbiota-BA-Hippo” regulatory network. Targeting this axis offers novel precision therapeutic strategies for managing cholangiocarcinoma and metabolic disorders.
