Pesquisadores estão trabalhando para desenvolver bactérias capazes de destruir tumores cancerosos, reduzindo ao mesmo tempo os danos às células e tecidos saudáveis do paciente
To employ these bacteria in cancer therapies, doctors could inject a patient with dormant spores of an anaerobe. Those spores would travel through the bloodstream and remain inert in healthy oxygenated tissue. (Getty Images/Unsplash)
