(STUDY FINDS) – An “invisibility cloak” for cancer drugs could be the new secret weapon that kills life-threatening tumors. Engineering researchers from Columbia University say this invention hides good bacteria from the immune system, enabling these substances to reach tumors undetected.
The masked probiotic could revolutionize cancer therapy. In experiments, it wiped out diseased cells in mice. Study authors hope this technique will work even better in humans, who are 250 times more sensitive to bacteria.
“What’s really exciting about this work is that we are able to dynamically control the system,” says biomedical engineer Professor Tal Danino in a university release.
