New Roles for Fusobacterium nucleatum in Cancer: Target the Bacteria, Host, or Both?

Abstract:

:Fusobacterium nucleatum is an oral bacterium associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) proliferation, chemoresistance, inflammation, metastasis, and now DNA damage. While controlling F. nucleatum through antibiotics could reduce cancer severity, this article proposes additional strategies to block Fusobacterium-host interactions, as well as treatment of activated host immune and oncogenic signaling pathways in CRC.

  • Exit Stage Left: A Tumor Cell's Journey from Lymph Node to Beyond.

    abstract::Even though we have known for over 250 years that cancers spread to regional lymph nodes (LNs) and distant organs, the fundamental question of which anatomical routes are taken by tumor cells has remained a mystery. Two recently published papers in Science, by Pereira et al. and Brown et al., directly address this imp...
