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.
Researchers have developed a first-ever vaccine against leishmaniasis, a disease putting 10% of the world at risk. A game changer was the development of CRISPR gene-editing technology.
New research reveals that the mucosal microbiome varies dramatically depending on whether a tumor arises on the right or left side of the colorectum, suggesting that the microbial environment surrounding tumors may be as geographically distinct as the tumors themselves.
