Bacteriophage-based particles carrying the TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) gene for targeted delivery in hepatocellular carcinoma
Open accessAbstract
The TRAIL (Tumour Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand) is a promising candidate for cancer treatment due to its unique ability to selectively induce programmed cell death, or apoptosis, in cancer cells while sparing healthy ones.

Advanced synthetic biology approaches enable incorporation of complex genetic circuits and therapeutic genes into phages.
“Advanced synthetic biology approaches enable the incorporation of complex genetic circuits and therapeutic genes [15,76,87–89]”
From Phage therapy in oncology: opportunities for cancer prevention and treatment (2026) · cites this paper as [88]
The Experimental section (page not provided) describes engineering a phage-based particle to carry a cassette containing the therapeutic TRAIL gene. The Discussion also describes phage genetic material as customizable. Neither section describes incorporating complex genetic circuits, so the paper supports only the therapeutic-gene part of the claim. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
