The Tumor Microenvironment02:17

The Tumor Microenvironment

6.6K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Bacterial Flora of the Large Intestine01:29

Bacterial Flora of the Large Intestine

451
The gut microbiome is formed by a vast and diverse community of bacteria that colonizes our large intestine. These bacteria start residing in the gut from birth and continue diversifying throughout life, influenced by factors such as diet, lifestyle, and stress. The gut bacterial community also includes bacteria from food and those that enter the colon through the anus.
The normal gut flora of the colon plays a critical role in generating essential vitamins such as vitamins K, B5, and B7.

What is Monogastric Digestion?01:50

What is Monogastric Digestion?

71.2K
The human body contains a monogastric digestive system. In a monogastric digestive system, the stomach only contains one chamber in which it digests food. Several other animal species also have monogastric digestive systems, including pigs, horses, dogs, and birds. This chapter, however, focuses on the human digestive system.

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

450
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Summary

The human microbiome, specifically imbalances known as dysbiosis, may play a role in biliary tract cancer development. Further research into biliary tract microbiome patterns is needed to understand this complex relationship.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Microbiology
  • Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) have increasing incidence and poor prognosis.
  • Late diagnosis and limited treatment options highlight the need for understanding BTC pathogenesis.
  • Emerging evidence suggests the biliary tract microbiome's role in BTC development.

Purpose:

  • To review the current understanding of the human microbiome's association with biliary tract cancer.
  • To explore the potential role of dysbiosis in the biliary tract in BTC pathogenesis.
  • To summarize recent findings linking microbiota patterns to BTC.

Summary:

  • Traditionally considered sterile, the biliary tree is now recognized to harbor a microbiome.
  • Microbial dysbiosis in the biliary tract is increasingly implicated in cancer development.
  • Next-generation sequencing advances reveal significant associations between microbiota and BTC.

Impact:

  • Provides a comprehensive overview of the microbiome's role in biliary tract cancer.
  • Highlights the potential of targeting the microbiome for BTC prevention or treatment.
  • Underscores the need for further investigation into biliary tract microbiota and cancer.
