Genetically engineered bacteria can detect cancer cells in a world-first experiment
As medical technology advances, many diseases can be detected, prevented, and cured with cells, rather than pills. This branch of medicine is called cellular or cell therapy. It’s already used in clinical practice in some situations, such as patients receiving fecal microbial transplants (“poo transplants”) when they have a severe gastrointestinal infection or a bone marrow transplant for treating blood cancer. Using synthetic biology, we can also engineer new and improved cells that could help…
