Abstract:
:The oral bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum is often found in colorectal cancer (CRC). In the 21 July 2020 issue of Science Signaling, Casasanta et al show that CRC cell-resident F. nucleatum promotes cytokine secretion that may potentiate tumor growth and metastatic progression in patients.
