近日,来自美国St.Jude儿童医院的科学家们发现一种表达于免疫系统的基因在决定结肠癌侵袭性方面发挥着重要作用。他们发现这种叫作AIM2的基因发生缺失会导致小肠细胞增殖失控,同时,研究人员还发现AIM2能够影响肠道菌群,在肠道中增加“好”细菌的数量可能对于预防结肠癌的发生具有重要意义。最近,这一研究的相关研究成果发表在国际学术期刊cell上,这些发 Recently, scientists from the St. Jude Children’s Hospital in the United States found that a gene expressed in the immune system plays an important role in determining the aggressiveness of colon cancer. They found that deletion of the gene called AIM2 led to uncontrolled proliferation of small intestine cells. At the same time, researchers found that AIM2 can affect the gut flora, increasing the number of “good” bacteria in the gut may prevent colon cancer It is of great importance to happen. Recently, the research related research results published in the international academic journal cell, these hair
