Sialidase-Chimeric Bioengineered Bacteria for Tumor-Sialoglycan-Triggered Solid Tumor Therapy

Adoptive cell therapies for solid tumors are usually limited by off-target antigens, incapable tissue infiltration, and cell function exhaustion. In contrast, bacterial cells possess the inherent competencies of preferential tumor targeting, deep tissue penetration, and high intratumoral bioactivity and represent promising alternatives to overcome these challenges. Here, a sialic-acid-responsive regulatory gene circuit is engineered into
