Microbial-mediated drug delivery systems have the potential to significantly enhance the efficacy of nanomedicine for cancer therapy through improved specificity and interstitial transport. The Nanoscale Bacteria-Enabled Autonomous Drug Delivery System (NanoBEADS) is a bacteria-based bio-hybrid drug delivery system designed to carry nanotherapeutics cargo deep into poorly vascularized cancerous tissue. The effect of bacteria-nanoparticle conjugation method and NanoBEADS assembly parameters (i.e., mixing method, volume, and duration) was investigated to maximize particle attachment density. The nanoparticle attachment capacity, viability, growth rate and motility of the original NanoBEADS and an antibody-free variant NanoBEADS were characterized and compared. It is found that the assembly parameters affect the attachment outcome and the binding mechanism impacts the attachment number, the growth rate and motility of NanoBEADS. The NanoBEADS platform provides an opportunity to load nanoparticles with different materials and sizes for applications beyond cancer therapy, such as imaging agents for high-resolution medical imaging.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
