Understanding and harnessing triple-negative breast cancer-related microbiota in oncology

TL;DR: A review of the current knowledge on bacterial relevance to triple negative breast cancer and potential uses is presented in this paper , where the authors examine some of the remaining unanswered questions regarding mechanisms underpinning observed effects.

IL-17 drives copper uptake and activation of growth pathways in colorectal cancer cells in a Steap4-dependent manner

Evan Martin
TL;DR: Data are presented that show that colon cancer cells in which STEAP4 is overexpressed take up more copper from their environment than colon cancer, after which it becomes significantly more difficult to treat effectively.

An obesity-associated gut microbiome with increased capacity for energy harvest

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through metagenomic and biochemical analyses that changes in the relative abundance of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes affect the metabolic potential of the mouse gut microbiota and indicates that the obese microbiome has an increased capacity to harvest energy from the diet.

Microbial ecology: Human gut microbes associated with obesity

TL;DR: It is shown that the relative proportion of Bacteroidetes is decreased in obese people by comparison with lean people, and that this proportion increases with weight loss on two types of low-calorie diet.

Diversity of the human intestinal microbial flora.

TL;DR: A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms, and significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition were discovered.
