Microbes rewrite the rules of cancer immunotherapy by triggering immunogenic cell death

2026-06-25T10:46:00+01:00

A new study reveals that microbiota and their metabolites can effectively reprogram immunogenic cell death (ICD), a unique form of cell death that activates the body‘s immune system against tumors, transforming immunologically “cold” therapy-resistant tumors into “hot” responsive ones.
