Engineered Bacteria That Eat Tumors: Quorum-Sensing Clostridium sporogenes as a Programmable Cancer Therapy Platform

A bilingual (English/Russian) science communication article exploring how engineered Clostridium sporogenes bacteria can be programmed to selectively destroy solid tumors using quorum-sensing genetic circuits. The article covers the synthetic biology breakthrough published in ACS Synthetic Biology (DOI: 10.1021/acssynbio.5c00628), including the molecular mechanism, clinical implications, and critical analysis of the research. Published on Sigmatic (https://sigmatic.science/en/bacteria-cancer-clostridium-therapy/).
