MiCK: a database of gut microbial genes linked with chemoresistance in cancer patients

Cancer remains a global health challenge, with significant morbidity and mortality rates. In 2020, cancer caused nearly 10 million deaths, making it the second leading cause of death worldwide. The emergence of chemoresistance has become a major hurdle in successfully treating cancer patients. Recently, human gut microbes have been recognized for their role in modulating drug efficacy through their metabolites, ultimately leading to chemoresistance. The currently available databases are limited...
