Newswise — A groundbreaking new study published in Nature yesterday sheds light on the alarming rise of colorectal cancer in younger adults. Researchers sequenced the DNA of colorectal cancer tumors from 981 patients across 11 countries and discovered a significant link between colibactin-producing bacteria and early-onset disease. The study found that DNA mutations associated with…
BYLINE: Anne Johnson Newswise — Chicago (April 15, 2025) — A new study found that a pair of probiotics fed to broiler chickens successfully persisted in the animals’ digestive tract, making the bacterial species promising candidates to improve poultry health. One of the species used in the experimental freeze-dried encapsulate, E. coli Nissle 1917 (ECN),…

Newswise — Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, relapsing disease that causes painful inflammation and ulcers in the colon. While its exact causes remain elusive, mounting evidence suggests that viral infections, particularly Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), may worsen disease severity. Elevated EBV DNA and RNA levels have been detected in the colonic tissues of UC patients,…
Newswise — ROCHESTER, Minnesota — Se trata de una gran parte del cuerpo que se encuentra más profundamente, fuera de la vista y, quizás, fuera de su mente: su core abdominal.

Newswise — After every meal, the intestines perform an action called peristalsis — moving food through their hollow interiors with coordinated contractions and relaxations of the smooth muscle. For more than a century, scientists have known that nerve cells in the gut propel the colon to move, allowing the organ to perform its life-sustaining…
Newswise — ROCHESTER, Minn. — A discovery by Mayo Clinic researchers may help explain why immunotherapy hasn’t been helpful for many patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. In findings published in Clinical Cancer Research, the team identified specific proteins — fibronectin and smooth muscle actin — within colorectal cancer tissues that are associated with resistance to immunotherapy treatment. Immunotherapy is…
