Synthetic biology is capitalizing on bacteria's natural ability to colonize immunoprivileged, hypoxic core regions of tumors through escaping from leaky vasculature. A variety of strategies such as targeting, inducing gene expression, quorum-sensing, expressing and releasing cytotoxics, and intracellular gene delivery have been engineered to control the behavior of these bacteria and produce anti-tumor effects.
