A study of smectite

We report that smectite, a type of mineral clay and established anti-diarrhoea drug, promotes the expansion of probiotics (especially Lactobacillus) in the murine gut that subsequently elicits anti-tumor immune responses.

本研究报告指出，滑石质，一种矿物粘土，亦为已确立的抗腹泻药物，能够促进益生菌（尤其是乳杆菌）在啮齿动物肠道中的扩张，进而诱发抗肿瘤免疫反应。
