“敌人的敌人是朋友。”这句话在医学界可能也是适用的。《新科学家》杂志近日报道,美国研究人员发现,一种致病性土壤细菌或能成为抗癌治疗的新手段。诺维氏梭菌是土壤中常见的厌氧菌,其释放的酶可以穿透并杀死哺乳动物细胞。美国密苏里州堪萨斯城的生物科技公司开发了一项新技术,对诺维氏梭菌进行了基因改造,随后注射进入一位53岁的女性癌症患者体内,一个月后,肿瘤出现了萎缩。该研究成果刊发于近期出版的《科学转化医学》上。 “Enemy enemies are friends. ” This sentence may also be applicable in the medical profession. New Scientist magazine recently reported that US researchers found that a pathogenic soil bacteria can become a new anti-cancer treatment. Clostridium nidulans is an anaerobic bacteria commonly found in soils that releases enzymes that penetrate and kill mammalian cells. A biotechnology company based in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, has developed a new technology to genetically modify Clostridium norvei, which is then injected into a 53-year-old female cancer patient. A month later, the tumor has shrunk. The research results published in the recently published “scientific translational medicine” on.
