  • サマリー

  • Microbes are living things, like us - they live on and in and around us. As well as learning more and more how we co-live with them, scientists have now also figured out how to use microbes as tools.


    In this episode, Alex and Merel explain one way in which microbes - in particular yeast, a type of fungus - can be used as a tool for medicine. We break down a scientific study in which scientists experimented with using yeast as a way to deliver cancer therapeutics to the right part of the body. The idea was to use yeast as a sort of mobile, mini-factory for producing the medicine, so that the medicine could be delivered at the right place at the right time. Interesting, right? Let's dive in!

    Rebeck et al. A yeast-based oral therapeutic delivers immune checkpoint inhibitors to reduce intestinal tumor burden. Cell Chem Biol. 2025 Jan 16;32(1):98-110.e7. doi: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2024.10.013. Epub 2024 Nov 20. PMID: 39571582; PMCID: PMC11741927.
