摘要:
Provided are a bacterium-based microrobot for medical treatment, an operation method thereof, and a treatment method using the same. The bacterium-based microrobot can be propelled by the flagellum movement of bacteria, can be directed toward a target lesion by the ability of bacteria to recognize the lesion, can be monitored for how many the microrobot targets the lesion, and can directly or indirectly treat the lesion by the proliferation of bacteria through self-division in the lesion. The bacteria may be genetically manipulated to be resistant to immune responses and produce a material inhibitory of the growth of affected cells.
摘要:
The present invention relates to bacteria which specifically target infarcted tissue and use thereof. The present invention provides a selective infarcted tissue-targeting bacterium for the first time, and can be used in selectively delivering drugs to the infarcted tissue or in selectively imaging the infarcted tissue. The infarcted tissue-targeting bacterium of the present invention can finish treatments by using antibiotics, and therefore, have remarkable advantages as compared to gene therapy using recombinant viruses. The infarcted tissue-targeting bacterium of the present invention have a significantly high affinity and specificity to infarcted myocardium or infarcted brain, thereby significantly reducing undesired transfections in the organs or tissues other than the heart. The gene expression by the infarcted tissue-targeting bacterium of the present invention in infarcted myocardium or infarcted brain is remotely controllable.
