What if the same bacteria causing acne could help fight cancer? 🦠✨ In this mind-bending episode, we dive into a real study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology titled “Melanoma cell survival is suppressed by splenocytes stimulated by Cutibacterium acnes.” Yep, you read that right—our so-called skin troublemaker might just have a secret hero arc.
I’m Steven Christian, your friendly neighborhood MD/PhD student and creator of Cütie Catcherz, the AR-powered comic that turns microbiology into magical storytelling. And today, we’re cracking open the science behind how C. acnes might trigger an immune response that helps kill melanoma cells. 🧬🧠💥
Tune in for:
How C. acnes–stimulated immune cells attacked melanoma cells in the lab
Why our skin bacteria might not be villains after all
What this means for immunity, inflammation, and yes, the world of Cütie Catcherz
How science inspires deeper, more empathetic storytelling about our bodies
💡 This isn’t just microbiome 101. It’s the blueprint for how "bad guys" in biology might wear hidden capes.
