"We don't have a sense of which is more important yet - that some of those species are missing, or that some are in greater abundance," he says. The net effect, however, is that in the absence of TLR5, the community of microbes changes and, as Gewirtz says, "when the intestinal...
...What was unique in our approach was that we were interested in alterations across different cancer types,” said HMS student Craig H. Mermel. “We want to stop looking at brain cancer or lung cancer but instead diagnose cancer by mutations common to the disease...

The common SCNAs may act as important markers in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, according to Rameen Beroukhim, a clinical fellow in oncology at Harvard-affiliate Dana-Farber Cancer Institute...
