Bacteria have been utilized in the treatment of cancer since the late 19th century, when Dr. William Coley, who was a surgeon ...

Even stranger, the CD8 T cells induced by naturally occurring ... treatment with the bacteria drastically shrank the size of tumors or eliminated them, significantly improving survival times ...

Thus, the microbes help the virus replicate and as a result, tumors develop. In the new study, the researchers wanted to see if commensal bacteria affected the development of a virus-induced ...

As scientists question the rise in early colon cancer cases, a new study is offering some potential answers. Colored scanning ...

A new paper shows that gut bacteria can metabolize carcinogens ... the development and severity of nitrosamine-induced urinary bladder cancer in mice.” This work is published in Nature in ...

These mice had very aggressive tumors growing on their ... somehow programmed to keep the peace between bacteria and host. To test whether these colonist-induced CD8 T cells could behave like ...

Most bacteria living in the human body help us thrive, but recent studies show that some infiltrate tumors, helping them grow, spread, and become more difficult for the immune system to destroy.

Cancer tumors are particularly adept at evading the body’s immune response, making treatment difficult.A new study has genetically engineered a common gut bacteria, enabling it to seek out and ...

while immune responses against tumor neoantigens may be induced, direct modulation of the immunosuppressive tumor environment is not accomplished to such a degree. “Bacteria also allow delivery of a ...
