Immune cells may shuttle beneficial gut microbes to boost anticancer responses

The findings of a new study shed light on a general mechanism by which gut bacteria may influence anti-cancer immune responses.

The Future of Microbiome Modulation Immuno-Oncology

Fabio Grassi, Founder at MV BioTherapeutics SA, discussed how to understand the mechanisms of action for microbiome contributions to cancer therapeutic response in patients.

Studies reveal the fungal communities associated with tumors

New studies provide evidence that there may be fungi within tumors and could also help to diagnose certain types of cancer or predicting their course.

Microbial metabolite could boost efficacy of immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer

A gut microbial metabolite called trimethylamine N-oxide, or TMAO, could improve immunotherapy success in pancreatic cancer.

Microbial metabolite may boost antitumor immunity in aggressive breast cancer

Researchers have found that a specific microbial metabolite may boost the efficacy of anticancer therapy in people with TNBC. The findings could inform the development of improved treatments for TNBC.

Akkermansia muciniphila can be a biomarker of response to cancer therapy, study suggests

Akkermansia can be used as a biomarker to identify who is likely to respond to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. A new study published in Nature Medicine claims

Specific microbial signature may influence response to immunotherapy in melanoma

A study published in Nature Medicine claims that the manipulation of the gut microbiota could be a new strategy to treat toxicity to combined immunotherapy.

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.

How gut bacteria boost cancer immunotherapy

A new study published in Science claims that some gut microbes produce a metabolite that boosts the effect of a class of cancer drugs.

Catalog of tumor microbiotas finds bacteria living inside many cancer cells

Researchers have created a catalog of the bacteria associated with all the cancer types. The findings could help to enhance the actions of anticancer drugs.
