From the Volcanic Crater to the Lab: A Lesson in Survival

Human lung cancer tissue under a microscope. The enzymes (yellow) that unmask the immune-activating molecules are found near the TREM2 receptors (red) of the tumor-assisting macrophages. This targeted unmasking can prevent damage to healthy tissues

Turning the Tumor’s Shield into a Sword

A bacterial cell (elongated shape in the center) inside a glioblastoma tumor cell, as seen through an electron microscope. The black dots within the bacterium are engineered antibodies carrying gold particles that bind specifically to a component found only in bacterial cell envelopes and not in human cells
