Check out this exciting thread featuring a new preprint from @RobinsonLab_QIB πŸ‘‡ Thrilled to share our collaborative study on #Bifido and #BreastCancer, now preprinted! We explore the "sweet spot" of EPS-driven #anticancer immune mechanisms. #GutHealth #CancerResearch
🧡 Exciting new preprint! 🚨 We’ve uncovered how Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum capsular exopolysaccharides (EPS) can enhance systemic anti-tumour immunity in pre-clinical breast cancer models. Here's what we found πŸ‘‡ #cancerresearch #microbiome
