Endogenous murine microbiota member Faecalibaculum rodentium and its human homologue protect from intestinal tumour growth
The microbiota has been shown to promote intestinal tumourigenesis, but a possible anti-tumourigenic effect has also been postulated. Here, we demonstrate that changes in the microbiota and mucus composition a...
