- Researchers investigated the mechanisms behind immunosuppression and pancreatic tumor growth in the pancreatic cells of mice and humans.
- They found that Lactobacillus in the gut microbiome inhibits the immune cells that would stop or slow the growth of pancreatic cancer, thus promoting tumor growth.
- The researchers also found that treatments targeting a certain immune pathway may reduce tumor growth and amplify treatment effects.
- Preliminary clinical trials to test their findings in humans are underway.
