Advancing Tumor Treatment Through Artificial Intelligence and Mathematical Modeling: A Comprehensive Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Solid tumors emerge from uncontrolled cell division and interactions with neighboring cells that influence their growth and resistance to therapy. Anti‐cancer drugs are developed to disrupt these processes, but they often damage healthy cells, making treatment difficult to manage safely and effectively. As the global cancer

Bacteroides fragilis Toxin Induces Sequential Proteolysis of E-Cadherin and Inflammatory Response in Mouse Intestinal Epithelial Cell Line

Microorganisms
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) is an intestinal bacterium that secretes the metalloprotease Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT), which induces E-cadherin cleavage and interleukin-8 secretion in human intestinal epithelial cell lines.

[Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis as a factor in diarrhea].

Mikrobiyoloji bulteni, 2003
The etiology of almost half of the diarrheal diseases has not been cleared yet, in spite of modern diagnostic methods. Bacteroides fragilis strains which secrete an enterotoxin are termed as enterotoxigenic B.fragilis (ETBF). These strains are associated with diarrheal diseases in children above 1 year of age and in adults. B.

[Selected properties of Bacteroides fragilis enterotoxigenic strains].

Medycyna doswiadczalna i mikrobiologia, 1996
Seven B. fragilis strains were examined. One strain was reference, non-enterotoxigenic, representing serotype E2 according to Beerens et al. (1971). Six strains produced enterotoxin (ETBF). Four of them were isolated from human feces and two of them from swine feces.

Association of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis with childhood diarrhoea.

The Indian journal of medical research, 1997
This study was conducted in a hospital setting to determine whether enterotoxigenic strains of Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) were associated with childhood diarrhoea. ETBF was isolated from 6 (2.6%) of 226 patients and 3 (1.7%) of 172 controls and was found mostly in children between 1-5 yr of age.

The “Direct Structural Disruption” Hypothesis: Bacteroides fragilis Toxin as a Potentiating Cofactor in MASH Pathogenesis

Toxins
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a complex, multifactorial disease heavily influenced by the gut–liver axis. While enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) and its principal virulence factor, B.
