Engineered Bacteria with Genetic Circuits Accumulating Nanomagnets as MRI Contrast Agents (Small 26/2022)
Source abstract
Abstract
Engineered Bacteria In article number 2200537, Urartu Özgür Şafak Şeker and co-workers design Escherichia coli bacteria as a cell factory to produce magnetite crystals inside or on the cell surface via synthetic biology tools. It is a promising strategy to overcome the side effects of conventional cancer treatment therapies on healthy cells by improving the in vivo cancer targeting for MRI detection, hyperthermia, and drug delivery.
