Abstract
In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe,Xing et al. (2021) show that gut microbiota confer resistance to colitis and colon cancer by stimulating IL-6 and IL-1β production and Th17 cell expansion. Their findings reveal that even a single bacterial strain, Odoribacter splanchnicus, can confer protective immunity against cancer.
