Beneficial bacteria stimulate host immune cells to counteract dietary and genetic predisposition to mammary cancer in mice
Recent studies suggest health benefits including protection from cancer after eating fermented foods such as probiotic yogurt, though the mechanisms are not well understood. Here we tested mechanistic hypotheses using two different animal models: the first model studied development of mammary cancer...
