Engineered endosymbionts as novel cancer therapeutics

Satyajit Hari Kulkarni and Christopher H. Contag from the Institute for Quantitative Health Science and Engineering focus on engineered endosymbionts, which they argue is a paradigm shift in anticancer bacteriotherapy toward killing tumors from the inside out.
Figure 1: The central nervous system (CNS) is protected from mechanical injury by the skull (A) and from chemical noxious agents by the blood-brain barrier (B, C). The latter consists of the endothelial barrier in most parts of the CNS (B) and the tanycytic barrier in the hypothalamus (C). We develop gene vectors transducing endothelial cells and tanycytes to treat genetic and non-genetic diseases of the brain.

Bridging brain barriers for gene therapy

Reflecting on the challenges in treating brain diseases, this article explores ways to transduce the blood-brain barrier as well as the critical role of tanycytes as a target for gene therapy vectors.
