Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Reduces MDM2 Expression and Risk of Liver Cancer (opens in new tab)

Researchers here show that fecal microbiota transplantation from young mice to old mice suppresses age-related increase in MDM2 expression and reduces risk of liver cancer. The balance of microbial populations making up the gut microbiome changes with age in ways that promote chronic inflammation and reduce the production of beneficial metabolites. Fecal microbiota transplantation is one of the few approaches that can make a permanent change to the composition of the gut microbiome, rejuvenat...
