In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in using these bacteria as innov...

متن کاملEnvironmentally controlled invasion of cancer cells by engineered bacteria.
Bacteria can sense their environment, distinguish between cell types, and deliver proteins to eukaryotic cells. Here, we engineer the interaction between bacteria and cancer cells to depend on heterologous environmental signals. We have characterized invasin from Yersinia pseudotuburculosis as an output module that enables Escherichia coli to invade cancer-derived cells, including HeLa, HepG2, ...
