Engineered Bacteria as Trojan Horses in Cancer Therapy
It is indeed revolutionary how something as simple as a bacterium can be engineered to tackle such illness. In an innovative leap for cancer treatment, researchers have engineered bacteria to act as “Trojan horses” carrying cancer-killing viruses directly into tumours. This strategy overcomes a long-time barrier in oncolytic virotherapy by delivering viruses past the body’s defences deep into solid tumours. The new work, published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, describes a
