Article Synopsis
- Researchers found that cancer treatments like radiation and chemotherapy can cause inflammation and bleeding in the gut.
- They noticed that certain immune cells called macrophages and a protein called hemopexin were more present in patients who experienced these issues.
- In experiments with mice, they discovered that a lack of hemopexin led to more DNA damage and inflammation in gut cells, which could help explain the problems some patients have after treatment.
