Combined Therapy with microRNA-Expressing <i>Salmonella</i> and Irradiation in Melanoma

Anticancer treatment strategies using bacteria as a vector are currently expanding with the development of anticancer drugs. Here, we present a research strategy to develop anticancer drugs using bacteria that contain miRNAs. We also present a strategy for the development of novel bacterial anticanc...
