Blood-borne immune cells carry low biomass DNA remnants of microbes in patients with colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease
20 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
The involvement of the intestinal microbiome in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC), is well-established. Bacteria interact with immune cells at sites of intestinal inflammation, but also in the CRC tumor microenvironment. We hypothesized that bacterial remnants translocate within peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into the circulation and thus explored the...
