Article Synopsis
- Lung cancer is a major global health issue, and recent studies suggest that the gut microbiome could play a role in its development and progression, with probiotics potentially offering therapeutic benefits.
- This study aimed to explore the presence and effects of specific beneficial microbes in the lower airways, using bioinformatics and bacterial cultivation to identify those linked to anti-cancer properties, particularly focusing on a strain that produces acetic acid.
- Findings indicated that this strain could inhibit lung cancer cell growth in a time- and dose-dependent manner, highlighting the potential for using probiotics as a preventive strategy against lung cancer by promoting a healthier lung microenvironment.
