In this podcast, coauthors Aleah Brokemond, Fapianey Alexandre, and Sewedo Ajisegiri discuss their recently published review, ‘Short-Chain Fatty Acids: Microbial Metabolites Driving Gut-Eye Axis Signaling’. The review stems from a desire to better understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate retinal health and disease, with a focus on whether and how short chain fatty acids could serve as messengers between the gastrointestinal tract and the eye. The review was designed to integrate current evidence into a translational framework informing therapeutic strategies and future clinical applications.
