Every year, millions of people are diagnosed with cancer globally; however, current treatments are limited by disease complexity.

Baylor University researchers have developed a novel approach to fight colorectal cancer, using modified bacteria as a courier to deliver potent cancer-killing proteins into tumor cells. Michael S.

Engineered bacteria reprogram tumor macrophages and direct copper into cancer cells, triggering cell death and systemic immunity without damaging healthy tissue. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Tumors do not ...

In a new study published in Cancer Cell titled, “Tumor-infiltrating bacteria disrupt cancer epithelial cell interactions and induce cell-cycle arrest,” researchers from the University of Texas MD ...

Accurate removal of tumors is the most critical aspect of cancer surgery, yet it remains a significant challenge in clinical practice. In breast cancer, for example, the positive margin rate—where ...

Researchers developed biohybrid microrobots that deliver bacteria and piezoelectric nanoparticles via capsules for localized colorectal cancer treatment and immune activation. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have built a cancer therapy that makes bacteria and viruses work as a team. In a study published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the Synthetic Biological ...

Anticancer efficacy: Ewingella americana versus conventional therapies. Tumor response: single i.v. dose of E. americana (200 µL, 5 × 10⁹ CFU/mL); four doses of doxorubicin or anti–PD-L1 (200 µL, 2.5 ...
