Increased Epithelial Oxygenation Links Colitis to an Expansion of Tumorigenic Bacteria

One of the environmental factors important for colorectal cancer formation is the gut microbiota, but the habitat filters that control its cancer-inducing activity remain unknown. Here, we show that chemically induced colitis elevates epithelial oxygenation in the colon, thereby driving an expansion...
