Our recent collaboration with the Weizmann Institute of Science and the University of California San Diego found that fungi are ubiquitous in human cancer types and often interact with bacteria in synergistic, rather than competitive ways. This is the latest chapter...
Despite major revelations in the science of cancer, a classic theory of how it develops—clonal evolution—has remained a perplexing vestige of ‘sterile’ cancer biology. Arguing against the sterility of tumors, the last decade of research has revealed metabolically...
Inclusion of microbiome supports Micronoma’s efforts to improve cancer detection The “hallmarks of cancer” have captured the core features of cancer biology and served as a guide for future research since their original publication in Cell in 2000. Since then, the...
The recent realization that the microbiome impacts human health and disease states, as well as the rapid evolution of research tools has led to an exciting and critical juncture, when we can now go deeper than ever in understanding and using microbiome science for...
One of the most promising developments in cancer research originates with the microbiome If there is one area of cancer research that is causing a lot of excitement, it’s the link between the disease and the microbiome, and with good reason: it presents an opportunity...
In our bodies, to make our microbiome, we have more than 100 trillion microbes, including bacteria and viruses, outnumbering our normal cells by up to 10 to one. In fact, if you look at the genes in our bodies, we are only about 1% human, as most of our DNA is either...
