Vitamin D and Gut Bacteria: A Potential Breakthrough in Cancer Immunity

Recent research conducted by the Francis Crick Institute, in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute and Aalborg University, has shed light on a surprising discovery regarding the role of vitamin D in enhancing immunity to cancer. The study, published in Science, reveals that mice fed with a diet rich in vitamin D exhibited increased levels of a specific type of gut bacteria called Bacteroides fragilis, which ultimately enhanced their immune response to cancer.

The implications of this finding could be significant for humans as well. Preliminary analysis from a study involving 1.5 million people in Denmark suggest a correlation between low vitamin D levels and higher risk of cancer. Therefore, understanding how this essential vitamin can be utilized to boost beneficial gut microbiota may pave the way for innovative approaches to cancer treatment and prevention.

Whooping cough is a highly contagious bacterial infection whose transmission occurs mainly within the family or in communities through contact with a sick person with a cough. Even though the number of cases of whooping cough has decreased significantly since the introduction of the vaccine, the bacteria continues to circulate. Infants too young to be vaccinated and adolescents and adults who have lost vaccine protection are the most affected populations. Outside our borders, Europe is currently experiencing an upsurge in cases of whooping cough with significant epidemics in Croatia, Denmark and the United Kingdom and significant increases in Belgium, Spain and Germany. In France, since the start of 2024, around twenty grouped cases (or clusters) have been reported to Public Health France in 8 French regions versus 2 grouped cases in a single region (Ile-de-France) for throughout 2023. Given this clear increase in the number of cluster cases reported, Public Health France remains vigilant and recalls the importance of vaccination to protect people at risk of serious forms.

A new antibody drug that slows the onset of dementia has been marketed, but its introduction on the national market is expected to take place no earlier than the second half of this year, given the high cost of the drug, which amounts to tens of millions of won year, experts say this too could be a “pill in the sky.”
