"As medical technology advances, many diseases could be detected, prevented and
cured with cells, rather than pills.
This branch of medicine is called cellular or cell therapy. It’s already used
in clinical practice in some situations, such as patients receiving faecal
microbial transplants (“poo transplants”) when they have a severe
gastrointestinal infection, or a bone marrow transplant for treating blood
cancer.
Using synthetic biology, we can also engineer new and improved cells that could
help us manage various diseases. In a new study published today in
Science,
my colleagues and I describe how we engineered bacteria to successfully detect
cancer cells."
