科学家发现沙门氏菌可以被改造 以增强其治疗肠癌的潜力 Scientists find salmonella can be modified to boost its potential in treating bowel cancer.

研究人员发现,以造成食物中毒而闻名的沙门氏菌可以耗竭免疫细胞所必需的氨基酸,从而可能抑制抗癌能力。 Researchers have discovered that salmonella, known for causing food poisoning, can deplete an amino acid essential for immune cells, potentially inhibiting cancer-fighting abilities. 科学家们设计沙门氏菌来防止这种耗竭,目的是提高治疗肠癌的效力。 By engineering salmonella to prevent this depletion, scientists aim to enhance its effectiveness in treating bowel cancer. 这一突破由英国癌症研究资助,在小鼠身上进行了测试,可能导致新的癌症治疗。 This breakthrough, funded by Cancer Research UK, was tested on mice and could lead to new cancer treatments.
