Vitamin B2 Boosts Immune Defense
A study from Johns Hopkins University has found that bacteria present within lung tumors and metabolites of vitamin B2 contribute to activating immune cells known as MAIT cells, thereby enhancing the body's immune response against cancer. The results suggest that these bacteria are not just bystanders to the tumor but play a role in how the body responds to cancer. This discovery could pave the way for developing new immunotherapies that activate MAIT cells using bacterial metabolites, although the study does not indicate an existing treatment for lung cancer.
