Pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic relacionam o câncer de ovário com a colonização de bactérias no microbioma
Mayo Clinic

Uma colonização específica de micróbios no trato reprodutivo é comumente encontrada em mulheres com câncer de ovário de acordo com um novo estudo do Centro de Medicina Individualizada da Mayo Clinic. A descoberta, publicada na revista Scientific Reports, fortalece a evidência de que o componente bacteriano do microbioma (uma comunidade de microrganismos que também consistem em vírus, leveduras e fungos) é um importante indicador para detecção precoce, diagnóstico e prognóstico do câncer de ovário.

باحثون من مايو كلينك يربطون بين سرطان المبيض وتكاثر عدد البكتيريا في الحَيُّوم الدقيق 
Mayo Clinic

عادة ما يوجد تكاثر لنوع معين من الميكروبات في الجهاز التناسلي للنساء المصابات يسرطان المبيض، وفقًا لدراسة جديدة من مركز مايو كلينك لنهج الطب الشخصي. إن هذا الاكتشاف المنشور في مجلة التقارير العلمية يقوي الأدلة التي تشير إلى أن المكون البكتيري للحَيُّوم الدقيق - وهو مجتمع من الكائنات الحية الدقيقة يتكون أيضًا من فيروسات وخمائر وفطريات - من المؤشرات الهامة للكشف المبكر عن سرطان المبيض وتشخيصه والتنبؤ بسير المرض.

Los investigadores de Mayo Clinic vinculan el cáncer de ovario con la colonización bacteriana en el microbioma
Mayo Clinic

Según un nuevo estudio del Centro de Medicina Personalizada en Mayo Clinic, se suele hallar una colonización específica de microbios en el aparato reproductor de las mujeres con cáncer de ovario. Este descubrimiento, publicado en la revista Scientific Reports, refuerza las pruebas de que el componente bacteriano del microbioma (una comunidad de microorganismos que incluye virus, hongos y levaduras) es un indicador importante para la detección temprana, el diagnóstico y el pronóstico del cáncer de ovario.

Your Gut’s Microbiome, On a Chip
American Institute of Physics (AIP)

In APL Bioengineering, researchers describe how gut-on-a-chip devices can bridge lab models and human biology. Modeling the microbiome is particularly difficult because of its unique environmental conditions, but through creative design, gut-on-a-chip devices can simulate many of these properties, such as the gut’s anaerobic atmosphere, fluid flow, and pulses of contraction/relaxation. Growing intestinal cells in this environment means that they more closely resemble human biology compared to standard laboratory cell cultures.
