Brief Key Findings

  • Regulatory T (Treg) cells inhibit non-B non-T colitis (2001)
  • Gut bacteria-triggered innate immunity is sufficient for malignancy (2003)
  • Interleukin-10-dependent immune tolerance to microbes suppresses malignancy (2003)
  • Enteropathogenic bacteria trigger extra-intestinal cancer (2006)
  • Earlier microbe exposures facilitate tolerance and prevent cancer (2006)
  • Feeding of sterile microbes is sufficient for immune tolerance (2010)
  • Adoptive transfer of tolerant immune cells increases lifespan (2010)
  • Gut bacteria, IL10, and mucosal immunity unify cancer with other inflammatory disorders (2010)
  • oral microbe therapy heals wounds 2X faster, promotes healthful aging, prevents age-associated weight gain, and may prevent some types of cancer. (2013)
