Amongst the five prizes, the Healthcare Research Award is given to a research project which brings about a major improvement to the sector.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/team_pic_2_500.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/team_pic_2_500-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/team_pic_2_500.jpg 500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 3\/2; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>            <p class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image-caption\">\n            Left to right: Paul Wilmes, Kacy\u00a0Greenhalgh and\u00a0Kris Ver Donck        <\/p>\n    <\/figure><p>The microbiome of the human gastrointestinal tract plays essential roles in maintaining human health. Several scientific studies suggest that administration of certain microorganisms (probiotics) together with specific dietary components (prebiotics) could be used as a supportive therapeutic option in the treatment and management of a variety of diseases, including colorectal cancer. \u201cDiet exerts crucial effects on cancer progression and therapies and thus dietary interventions as well as microbiome manipulations can influence anti-cancer treatment efficacy. The exact mechanism how dietary components and the gut bacteria affect cancer outcome are unknown,\u201d explains Dr Kacy Greenhalgh, post-doc within the <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwen.uni.lu\/lcsb\/research\/eco_systems_biology\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Eco-Systems Biology group<\/a> and the lead author of the study.<\/p><p><i>in vitro<\/i><i>in silico<\/i> They worked with <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwen.uni.lu\/research\/highlights\/gut_model_humix_works_like_the_real_thing\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">HuMiX<\/a>, a unique <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cell.com\/cell-reports\/fulltext\/S2211-1247(19)30456-5?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2211124719304565%3Fshowall%3Dtrue\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Greenhalgh et al., 2019<\/a> model of the gut developed by the group, which allows the cultivation of human intestinal cells together with bacteria under <i>in vitro<\/i>-like conditions. \u201cHuMiX allows us to investigate in a controlled manner the effects of evidence-based dietary regimens on gut microbiome and host drug response,\u201d details Kacy Greenhalgh. Their results showed that a combination of dietary fibre and specific beneficial bacteria reduces the expression of pro-carcinogenic and drug resistance genes in cancer cells. They demonstrate the potential of this approach for the formulation of personalised dietary supplements including pre- and probiotics (<i>in vivo<\/i>), which will now be tested further.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/humix_1.png\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/humix_1-300x242.png 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/humix_1.png 448w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 4\/3; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><p><\/p><p><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/humix_2.png\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/humix_2-300x297.png 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/humix_2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/humix_2.png 596w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 1\/1; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><p>Diagram of the <i>in vitro<\/i> human cells-microbe gut-on-chip model HuMiX, with three chambers separated via nano- and micro-porous membranes.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p>Specific diets together with beneficial microorganisms induces down-regulation of pro-carcinogenic and drug resistance genes, as well as metabolic changes that affect the growth of cancer cells, and may help treat colorectal cancer.<p>The team now aims to commercialise the HuMiX technology and to work with industrial partners.
