OPTIMIZING CANCER CHEMOTHERAPY WITH THE GUT MICROBIOME
Researchers at UCSF have developed a novel innovation in harnessing the gut microbiome to alleviate severe side effects of chemotherapy. Dose-limiting toxicities remain a significant barrier in the advancement of drug therapies, particularly in oncology. Although decades of pharmacogenomic research have identified specific human genetic variants that...
