Oral nano-delivery of a gut microbial metabolite enhances T cell stemness for cancer immunotherapy

Reports an oral nano-emulsion prodrug of a gut microbial metabolite that preserves CD8+ T cell stemness and boosts antitumor immunity in mouse models.

Key Takeaways
  • By utilizing an in vitro screening of these altered non-SCFA metabolites on inulin gel administration
  • Demonstrated how to improve the drug-like properties of microbial metabolites
  • As small-molecule prodrugs have been widely used in modern pharmaceutics
