Abstract
Select strains of bacteria show significant therapeutic promise in oncology, but there are major limitations for their clinical implementation, including their fast clearance from the circulation and dose-limiting toxicity. To address this challenge, we propose delivering bacteria alongside drug-loaded nanoparticles to reduce the premature clearance of bacteria from the circulation and improve their therapeutic efficacy. We evaluated the ability of the bacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense, an environmental isolate that holds promise as an anti-cancer immunotherapy, to carry drug-loaded nanoliposomes into melanoma tumors. Using the B16F10 melanoma mouse model, we demonstrated that when injected locally, the bacteria can significantly reduce tumor growth while inducing a strong immune response. Further, we showed that drug-loaded nanoliposomes can be conjugated to the surface of bacteria improving their tumoral delivery and yielding a stronger anticancer response when delivered systemically. These results suggest that bacterial hitchhiking is a promising systemic drug delivery strategy for cancer immunotherapy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
