The limited ability of cancer therapeutics in crossing the cancer cell membrane hampers their therapeutic potential. Here, the authors report Salmonella-based system for intracellular delivery of protein drugs, e.g. caspase-3, and show reduction of tumors in mouse models of breast and liver cancer.
