NewsRemoving gut bacteria’s potential ‘safe house’ may lower risk of colorectal cancer subtype
A new study has found an association between appendix removal and a decreased risk of colorectal cancer positive for tumor-promoting bacteria.

NewsScientists reveal interaction mechanism between intestinal microbial environment and tumor immune microenvironment
Scientists have unveiled the mechanism of tumor immune evasion mediated by the microorganism C. scindens in colorectal cancer. Additionally, they developed a phage-based intervention method.

NewsMicrobial signature of colorectal cancer-associated mutations identified in new study
Researchers have identified microbiota signatures associated with KRAS mutations in people diagnosed with colorectal cancer, suggesting that gut microbes may serve as a kind of non-invasive biomarker for identifying subtypes of CRC.
-
NewsBacteria subtype linked to growth in up to 50% of human colorectal cancers
A new study suggests that a subtype of Fusobacterium nucleatum underlies colorectal cancer growth in humans and could be useful in screening and treatments.
-
NewsGut microbiome variations could predict colorectal cancer risk
New research has identified significant variations in the gut microbiome of individuals who developed pre-cancerous colonic lesions, suggesting a potential connection between gut bacteria and the onset of colorectal lesions and cancers.

NewsEngineered bacteria guide CAR-T cells to poorly infiltrated solid tumors
A new probiotic-guided chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T platform uses engineered bacteria to infiltrate and produce synthetic antigen targets, enabling CAR-T cells to find, identify, and destroy tumor cells in situ, according to a new study.

NewsNanoparticle may improve mRNA cancer vaccines
Tests in mice with melanoma and colon cancer show the tiny particle creates an ‘army’ of immune cells that carry vaccine’s instructions, say the researchers.
-
NewsGut microbiome changes linked to precancerous colon polyps
A new study has linked certain types of gut bacteria to the development of precancerous colon polyps.

NewsResearchers find regulatory mechanism that keeps cancer-causing bacteria in check
Researchers have discovered an important mechanism that may have profound implications for how we prevent colorectal cancer.
