Research finds that gut bacteria is very versatile, it can even assist the body s immune system specially to fight off cancer cells. It is a byproduct of molecules that have an effect on cancer that was uncovered during the study, which might be able to mitigate malignant cells causing damage to host cells.
When something is wrong in our cells, sometimes the inability to repair the broken DNA might lead to the production of cancer cells. But the recent study suggests we got allies to help immune systems cope.
Molecules Produced by Gut Bacteria Could Help The Human Body Fight Cancer
12 JULY 2021
Our guts are fabulous places, filled with a myriad of microbes. These tiny life forms help us with everything from fermenting fiber to feeling full. But their effects don t stay just in the gut.
We know that gut microbes like bacteria and yeast have a role to play in diabetes, depression and neurovascular disease. Now, scientists have discovered that molecules produced by stomach bacteria could give the human body a helping hand when it comes to the immune system, even going so far as to help fight tumors.

Metabolites of intestinal bacteria can positively influence the efficacy of tumor therapies
Certain metabolites of bacteria from the intestine make immune cells more aggressive as a new study conducted by scientists from Würzburg and Marburg reveals. The findings could help improve cancer therapies.
It is believed to be involved in the development of chronic inflammatory intestinal diseases, to trigger diabetes, to be responsible for obesity, even neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson s could have their causes here - not to mention depressions and autistic disorders. We are talking about the microbiome - the vast collection of bacteria in the human gut. It is estimated that each person carries around 100 trillion bacterial cells in their digestive tract, belonging to several thousand species.
