A new study conducted at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology shows that temperature dependent bacteria may be used in the
future. This treatment will be administered to patients by placing bacteria in
them. The bacteria will contain medicine that will be pumped into the body
based on the temperature of the bacteria. The bacteria will be changed in
temperature by use of ultrasound technology. Furthermore, if the individual has
a fever this will cause the bacteria to self-destruct and be expelled from the
body through defecation. This treatment may be useful in cancer patients
because bacteria tend to gravitate toward tumors. This is due to tumors
containing less oxygen.
This is
very interesting and informative. I hope to see more information on this topic in
the future. This will be very useful in medicinal technology. Doctors should look
more into this technology to treat their patients.
This is so interesting! Bacteria are so resilient and can adapt so quickly, hopefully they can be used to treat and cure diseases.
