Breakthrough in Cancer Research: Microbiome-Based Therapies Show Promise
A recent breakthrough in cancer research by a team from POSTECH and ImmunoBiome focuses on the use of a dietary-derived bacterial strain, IMB001, to enhance anti-tumor responses through ‘nutritional immunity’. The team’s study, published in Nature Immunology, reveals the potential of microbiome-based cancer therapies. Dr. Sin-Hyeog Im has developed a novel strategy for identifying beneficial bacteria suitable for cancer treatment, with plans to start a clinical trial in 2025. IMB001 has shown promising results in preclinical studies across various cancers, slowing down tumor progression and enhancing checkpoint inhibitor therapy efficacy.
The Importance of Gut Health for Overall Well-Being
Maintaining a healthy gut microbiome is crucial for overall well-being, according to Professor Janes Walter from University College Cork’s APC Microbiome Ireland research center. Walter suggests dietary changes like incorporating diverse foods, whole grains, fiber, plant-based proteins, and fatty fish while avoiding saturated fats and ultra-processed foods. By making these adjustments, individuals can reset and improve their gut health, leading to a healthier life.
