Journal ArticleDOI

Salmonella typhimurium lacking ribose chemoreceptors localize in tumor quiescence and induce apoptosis.

TL;DR: By deleting the ribose/galactose receptor, bacterial accumulation localized to tumor quiescence and had a greater individual effect on inducing apoptosis than wild-type S. typhimurium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salmonella typhimurium specifically chemotax and proliferate in heterogeneous tumor tissue in vitro

TL;DR: Several mechanisms of S. typhimurium accumulation in solid tumors have been quantified, which is an important step in the development of bacterial‐based therapeutics to target tumor quiescence.
Journal ArticleDOI

A multipurpose microfluidic device designed to mimic microenvironment gradients and develop targeted cancer therapeutics

TL;DR: A microfluidic device that mimics the microenvironment gradients present in tumors that will enable the development of more effective cancer therapies and will be vital for understanding the behavior of common cancer drugs in solid tumors and designing novel intratumorally targeted therapeutics.

Nucleic acid amplification

TL;DR: In this article, the present teachings provide methods for nucleic acid amplification, comprising forming a reaction mixture, and subjecting the reaction mixture to conditions suitable for NCA, including partially denaturing conditions.
