Gut probiotic Christensenella tenuis reduces endotoxemia and improves metabolism in obese mice

This study is reported by the team of Professor Shuang-jiang Liu from Shandong University. The study reveals that the gut probiotic Christensenella tenuis significantly alleviates endotoxemia and metabolic disorders in a diet-induced obesity (DIO) mouse model by modulating gut bile acids (BAs) metabolism and suppressing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) translocation across the gut barrier.

Tumor cells adapt and thrive in damaged parts of the pancreas

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancer types. A new study from Karolinska Institutet, in collaboration with the Department of Pathology at Karolinska University Hospital, shows that tumor cells grow not only in the connective tissue-rich environment typical of the disease, but also in damaged parts of the pancreas where normal tissue is altered.
