Scientists at the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute) have uncovered how the gut microbiota help the immune system fight melanoma, explaining why patients with a fibre-rich diet and balanced gut bacteria tend to respond better to cancer immunotherapies. The study, published in Immunity, showed that molecules produced by gut bacteria upon […]
