flag UF researchers found a gut-derived molecule that boosts lung cancer immunotherapy in mice, shrinking tumors by 50% in resistant cases.

flag Researchers at UF Health have discovered Bac429, a gut microbiome-derived molecule, that enhances lung cancer immunotherapy in mice, reducing tumor growth by 50% in treatment-resistant cases. flag The compound, identified from beneficial bacteria in patients who responded to therapy, helps turn "cold" tumors "hot" by boosting immune response. flag It may be used alongside existing immunotherapies without added toxicity, offering a non-invasive way to improve patient outcomes. flag The findings, published in Cell Reports Medicine, have led to patent applications and the creation of Bebi Therapeutics Inc., with potential applications beyond lung cancer.
