Researchers find genetically modified salmonella can stimulate immune systems to fight bowel cancer in mice.

A study by the University of Birmingham and Glasgow, funded by Cancer Research UK, reveals that genetically modified salmonella may help fight bowel cancer by stimulating immune systems in mice without harming them. The research identifies a protein that impairs T cells during salmonella treatments, suggesting potential for refining bacteria-based cancer therapies. Further studies are needed to fully understand these effects.
