Design of a self-driven probiotic-CRISPR/Cas9 nanosystem for sono-immunometabolic cancer therapy
Abstract
Recently, strategies based on the integration of nanotechnology with microbial carriers have been proposed for cancer therapy. Here the authors report the design of an ultrasound-controlled CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system for IDO1 silencing compounded with the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, showing the induction of anti-tumor immune responses in preclinical cancer models.
