Cancer-fighting chewing gum cuts HPV levels by up to 93%
- Researchers have developed a bioengineered chewing gum that may offer a new way to target microbes associated with head and neck cancer.
- In tests involving oral samples from patients, extracts from the gum sharply reduced one virus and two types of bacteria linked to the disease.
- The research team was led by Henry Daniell of the School of Dental Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
