X-Health.show: Treating Cancer with Bacteria with Dr. Ana Montalban-Arques, Recolony
23-04-2024 – Alex Jani, host of X-Health.show podcast spoke with our project leader from Recolony, Ana Montalban-Arques about the science behind Recolony.
You’ll hear about
- how many bacteria inhabit a human and how much do they weigh (I bet you underestimate their weight)
- what is a dysbiotic gut microbiome
- the gut microbiome and its influence on colorectal cancer
- studies of specific strains of bacteria that show reducing cancer in mice
- what is the potential of life biotherapeutic products
Recolony aims to develop a bacteria-based oral therapy to treat and prevent colorectal cancer. No chemotherapy, no side effects – oral administration at home. Please note, their treatment is in the pre-clinical phase and it means it is not yet available for patients.
