Project description
This project would investigate the effect of Bifidobacterium supplements on the imbalance of gut microbiota caused by antibiotic treatment relevant to colon cancer. It would also fully investigate the effect and mechanism of Bifidobacterium in the treatment and prevention of colon cancer through cellular and animal models. These results will provide greater understanding and help in the treatment of colon cancer.
