Smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) may develop into life- threatening MM, with gut microbiota and Th17 possibly contributing to this progression via unknown mechanisms. Here the authors use a mouse SMM model, VkMYC mice, to show that treatments with butyrate or the commensal, Prevotella melaninogenica, suppress Th17 and cancer progression.
