Bacteria in metastatic cancer tissue, mostly anaerobic and affected by anatomic site, predicts responsiveness to immunotherapy cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Cell

NKI researchers have compiled a detailed catalog of bacteria living in cancer metastases. They shed light on their diversity and how they might interact with cancer cells and their surroundings ➡️ bit.ly/3VR9GjN KWFKankerbestrijding Oncode Institute Cell Press

Now online! A pan-cancer analysis of the microbiome in metastatic cancer dlvr.it/T5HdCD

Thrilled that it is out now! Led by the talented Thomas Battaglia and Iris Mimpen. While addressing key technical limitations of previous work, we characterize the microbial DNA in metastatic cancers with unprecedented accuracy, breath and depth. Read the paper to learn more!

To investigate the cancer #microbiome, scientists integrated genomic & clinical data from 4,160 metastatic tumors. One key finding–presence of #Fusobacterium in #lungcancer correlated with resistance to #immunotherapy. Iris Mimpen Joris van de Haar The Netherlands Cancer Institute ow.ly/zxbX50Rgc9j

The protein factories of our cells are much more diverse than we thought. NKI scientists have shown that cancer cells can use ribosomes to boost their invisibility, helping them hide from the immune system. They publish their findings in Cell today ➡️ bit.ly/4ePmIVW
