À propos de cet audio

This Discover magazine article highlights recent research published in the journal Cell suggesting the gut microbiome plays a significant role in fighting cancer. Specifically, the article explains how gut microbes can modify bile acids, produced in the liver, into metabolites. These microbe-altered bile acids may then enhance the immune system, particularly by activating cancer-fighting T cells. The study, conducted by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, demonstrates that these metabolites can suppress tumor growth in mice. Ultimately, the findings suggest a potential path towards developing new cancer therapies that leverage the gut microbiome and its modified bile acids.
