Microbes and Molecules: New Frontiers in Cancer Therapy
TL;DR Summary
Researchers discovered that bacteria within tumors produce a molecule called 2-methylisocitrate (2-MiCit) that enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy by disrupting cancer cell metabolism. Synthetic versions of this molecule could lead to new, more potent cancer treatments, highlighting the potential of harnessing tumor-associated microbes for therapy.
