How scientists are hacking bacteria to treat cancer, self-destruct, then vanish without a trace

"Bacteria are rapidly emerging as a new class of “living medicines” used to
kill cancer cells.

We’re still a long way from a “cure” for cancer.

But one day we could have programmable, self-navigating bacteria that find
tumours, release treatment only where needed, then vanish without a trace.

Here’s where the science is up to."
