Fasting primes gut microbiome to improve intestinal recovery after radiation treatment
Researchers identified a gut bacterium that helps prime intestinal stem cells for faster recovery
In preclinical models, short-term fasting increased the population of this bacterium, helping the small intestine regenerate more effectively after radiation treatment
The findings could lead to dietary or microbe-based strategies to reduce side effects of cancer radiation therapy
