Real-time monitoring of tumor-homing bacteria and tumor cells in vivo using ultrasound

Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 02 January 2023; doi:10.1038/s41587-022-01590-xBy screening natural prokaryotic gas vesicle gene clusters, we found and engineered new acoustic reporter genes (ARGs) that give bacteria and mammalian cells brighter ultrasound contrast for real-time noninvasive imaging. Expressing these ARGs in engineered cells enabled us to image tumor-homing bacteria and perform genetically guided tumor biopsies in vivo…
