Salient points for those who don’t want to read the article, or can’t:

• The team administered a single shot of E. americana intravenously to mice with colorectal cancer, and it completely eliminated tumors in every treated animal.

• Caused only short-lived inflammatory effects that resolved within 72 hours

• Over two months of observation, treated mice showed no signs of organ damage or chronic toxicity.

• The bacterium are also sensitive to antibiotics, providing intervention options if problems were to arise following treatment.

• When the mice were later re-exposed to cancer cells, none developed new tumors, suggesting the treatment had triggered long-lasting immune memory.

This holds some real promise, I’m very excited to see what this brings! Kudos to the researchers!
