During conditions of impaired bile flow (cholestasis), increased serum bile acids (BAs) are
prognostic markers of sepsis. In this issue, Hao et al.(2017) show that the BA receptor FXR
binds NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages and inhibits activation of inflammasome
components, thus reducing endotoxemia in cholestasis.
