Immunotherapy with engineered bacteria by targeting the STING pathway for anti-tumor immunity

Synthetic biology can be used to create rationally designed living therapeutics. Here the authors engineer E. coli Nissle to target STING activation in antigen presenting cells for the treatment of solid tumors and demonstrate preclinical activity in murine models.
