Scientists have developed an invisibility cloak for cancer drugs
There are various forms of cancer treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Scientists have developed an invisibility cloak that hides good bacteria from the immune system. It enables them to reach undetected tumours.
Use of Invisibility Cloak
Scientists hope that the invisibility cloak will work better in humans. The cloak system can be regulated dynamically. With the help of an invisibility cloak, scientists can regulate the time bacteria survive in human blood.
Scientists have developed a new strategy in which they inject good bacteria towards tumour and then lets them migrate to other tumours.
Use of inducible CAP(iCAP)
Scientists have created an on/off switch and it is called iCAP. It can help the bacteria to prevent immune attacks. This is called bacteria-based immunotherapy. These are different from traditional drugs. The bacteria are alive and then can travel within the body.
The bacteria can be detected by the immune system of the body and it can cause an inflammatory response.
After a certain time, the invisibility cloak disappears. It means that the bacteria will move in other parts of the body. This can be called an anti-tumour drug.
