Title: NanoBlade
Description: We are Team ELTE, and we have created NanoBlade, which could facilitate both tumor diagnostics and therapy! We engineered E. coli to selectively attach to cancer cells and colonize tumor tissues. These interactions are detectable via fluorescence, so with the help of the bacteria, tumors can be visualized. Under blue light, our bacteria release toxins into their environment, killing cancer cells locally.
