๐ธ A frog gut bacterium just wiped out 100% of colorectal tumors in mice with a single dose
Scientists at Japan's JAIST found that Ewingella americana โ a bacterium from Japanese tree frog intestines โ completely eliminated colorectal cancer tumors in mice after just one intravenous injection, outperforming chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. The microbe seeks out the low-oxygen environment inside tumors and directly attacks cancer cells. It's still early-stage animal research, but a 100% complete response rate from a single dose is extraordinary. Could bacteria become the next frontier in cancer therapy?
