Colorectal cancer (commonly called bowel cancer) is indeed increasing at an alarming rate among young people.
According to multiple studies including those published in Nature Medicine and reported by major outlets like The Guardian and NBC News:
Rates of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC)—especially in those under 50—are doubling roughly every decade.
A recent international study of 981 tumor samples from 11 countries found a bacterial toxin called colibactin, made by certain E. coli strains, was significantly more common in younger patients' tumors (under 40 years old) than in older adults.
Colibactin damages DNA and may silently initiate cancer development years before diagnosis—potentially beginning in childhood.
While traditional risk factors (obesity, diet, sedentary life) still matter, this research shifts focus to gut microbiome health in early life.
Researchers are now exploring how to intervene—via probiotics, early-life nutrition, or gut-friendly interventions—to reduce long-term cancer risk.
Although colibactin’s presence is not confirmed as the sole cause, it’s a crucial new lead in understanding this generational shift.Colorectal cancer (commonly called bowel cancer) is indeed increasing at an alarming rate among young people.

Scientists in Japan have officially begun human trials of TRG-035, a drug that could allow people to regrow missing teeth—naturally. Inspired by animals like sharks that regenerate teeth throughout life, this breakthrough targets the USAG-1 protein, which normally suppresses tooth formation in humans.
The Phase 1 clinical trial at Kyoto University Hospital involves 30 adults who are missing at least one tooth. The next phase aims to help children with congenital conditions where permanent teeth never grow at all. If successful, this could replace dental implants entirely by the year 2030—making tooth loss a fixable problem through biology, not surgery.
