Theranostics publishes innovative research articles reflecting the fields of in vitro diagnostics and prognostics, in vivo molecular imaging, molecular therapeutics, image-guided therapy, biosensors, system biology and translational medicine, personalized medicine and a broad spectrum of biomedical research that can be applied to future theranostic applications.
Rationale: The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) remains a major barrier to the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, underscoring the need for strategies that can safely reprogram the TME to enhance cancer immunity. Methods: Here, we developed CNC018, a clinically translatable Salmonella typhimurium (SL) strain designed to reprogram the TME and potentiate responses to ICB. CNC018 was constructed using the ppGpp-defective ...
