A new spatial analysis from Chen Zhao, M.D., and colleagues finds that the bacteria inside lung tumors concentrate in the cancer cells and are associated with activation of the beta-catenin signaling pathway. In this illustration, the lung tumors are depicted by the large green masses on the bottom right and top left; the bacteria and the associated beta-catenin signaling pathways are labeled by the red ovals.
