Influence of high fibre diets on the gut microbiota, prostate tumour growth and normal tissue toxicity following ionising radiation

This study investigates how high-fiber diets affect prostate tumor growth, gut microbiota, and radiation toxicity in mice, finding fiber delays tumor growth and protects against radiation damage.

Candida albicans infection suppresses Lipopolysaccharide or Pseudomonas aeruginosa stimulated murine bone marrow derived macrophage (BMDM) responses

This study shows that C. albicans infection suppresses BMDM immune responses to LPS or P. aeruginosa, including cytokine production, suggesting a mechanism for immune evasion.
