Targeting the Tumor Microbiota in Cancer Therapy Basing on Nanomaterials

Exploration, EarlyView.
Intra‐tumoral microbiota, which is a potential component of the tumor microenvironment, has been emerging as a key participant and driving factor in cancer. This article reviews the latest progress in this field, including the microbial community within tumors and its pro‐cancer mechanisms, as well as the anti‐tumor strategies targeting intra‐tumoral ...

Bioactive Polysaccharides Targeting Gut Microbiota to Modulate Host Health: A Gear Effect Theory

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
The “Gear Effect” mechanism of bioactive polysaccharides driving gut microbiota to modulate host health. ABSTRACT Bioactive polysaccharides are macromolecular polymers with broad biological activities. Recent evidence has highlighted their role in modulating host health primarily through interactions with gut microbiota.
