Scientists at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have identified a naturally occurring bacterium from the intestines of Japanese tree frogs (Dryophytes japonicus) that demonstrated remarkable anticancer activity in mice. The findings, published in Gut Microbes, introduce a new approach to cancer treatment that uses living bacteria to directly target tumors rather than simply altering the gut microbiome.

This really does prove the point once again:

Mice are actually vast, hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings. They are not only subtly guiding our behavior by participating in our behavioral experiments, but also using us for scientific breakthroughs to improve their own quality of life.

There’s always one. /ThreeStoogesSlap. Stupid autocorrupt.

These creatures you call mice, you see, they are not quite as they appear. They are merely the protrusion into our dimension of vastly hyperintelligent pandimensional beings.
