Researchers associate microbial signatures with two types of precancerous gut lesions

By providing insights into how the gut microbiota influences cancer susceptibility, the findings may help to develop new therapies or dietary interventions.

Microbial metabolite may damage the DNA of gut stem cells

The findings of a recent study suggest that tilimycin-producing bacteria can cause genetic mutations in the colon and increase a person’s susceptibility to disease.

A Fusobacterium nucleatum vaccine to help protect against colorectal cancer?

Vaccines against F. nucleatum and other onco-microbes may help prevent diseases such as colorectal cancer.

How the tumor microbiota may reduce the efficacy of cancer drugs

A recent study confirms that 5-FU exerts part of its anti-cancer effects through inhibiting the growth of F. nucleatum, the commensal associated with colorectal cancer progression.

DNA-damaging microbial metabolites found in people with inflammatory bowel disease

The findings of a recent study suggest that DNA damage-inducing microbial metabolites such as indolimines play a role in the development of colorectal cancer.

Universal DX: Microbiome Signatures in Plasma Can Help Detect Early-Stage Colorectal Cancer

Company Presents Data at ESMO Congress Showing Link Between Gut Bacteria and Early Colorectal Cancer Detection

How a gut microbe may suppress colorectal cancer growth

Lactobacillus reuteri can protect against colorectal cancer through reuterin, one of its metabolites. A new study published in Cencer Cell claims

Mouth microbiota may influence the efficacy of cancer radiotherapy

The mouth microbiota may be used as a potential biomarker and target for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. A new study pulished in Cell Reports claims.

Intestinal microbes could protect against gut inflammation and colorectal cancer

The alterations in gut microbiota composition observed in mice lacking TAK1 can generate a protective immunity against colitis and colorectal cancer.

Microbial metabolites could improve efficacy of anticancer drugs

Some gut microbial metabolites boost the efficacy of antitumor drugs by regulating the body’s immune response and could be used as a part of cancer therapy.
