Bacteria Engineered to Eat Cancer Tumors From the Inside: The 2026 Breakthrough
Engineered bacteria can now infiltrate solid cancer tumors, colonize their oxygen-starved cores, and destroy them from within. Researchers at the University of Waterloo published findings in ACS Synthetic Biology in February 2026 showing that genetically modified Clostridium sporogenes bacteria use quorum sensing circuits to detect when they have reached sufficient density inside a tumor before […]
