However, owing to their heterogeneous, highly dynamic structural states, with ensembles of rapidly interconverting conformations, disordered proteins have been considered largely ‘undruggable’ by traditional approaches.

Emerging evidence suggests that modulating the gut microbiome through interventions such as faecal microbiota transplantation, probiotics, prebiotics and lifestyle modifications may enhance therapeutic outcomes.

In this Review, we examine the rationale for targeting the microbiome in cancer treatment, highlighting key advances in clinical microbiome characterization and their implications for immunotherapy. We discuss findings from recent clinical trials evaluating microbiome-based interventions and address the challenges associated with translating these approaches into clinical practice.
