Maltol has anti-cancer effects via modulating PD-L1 signaling pathway in B16F10 cells

Researchers found that maltol, a natural compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, showed anti-melanoma activity by suppressing the PD-L1 immune checkpoint signaling pathway in mouse skin cancer cells. The compound enhanced the effectiveness of cisplatin chemotherapy and increased immune cell-mediated destruction of cancer cells. The study suggests that maltol may have potential as a complementary agent in melanoma immunotherapy approaches.

Intratumoural microbiota: from theory to clinical application

Researchers reviewed how bacteria living inside tumors — called intratumoural microbiota — influence cancer development, immune responses, and treatment outcomes. They highlight that while some tumor-resident microbes drive cancer progression by damaging DNA and disrupting immune signaling, engineered bacteria could be harnessed as novel therapeutic tools to target tumors directly.
