Initial experimental results showed that the tool helped modify the target gene in more than 90% of Escherichia coli colonies ...

Explore how CRISPR could become a powerful antiviral tool against HIV, Hepatitis B, HPV, and more, based on emerging research.

Cholera bacteria aren't just battling antibiotics and public health measures—they are also constantly under attack from ...

Armata Pharmaceuticals has posted early validation of its phage platform. The phase 1b/2a trial linked a bacteriophage ...

KU Leuven and PrintPlace produce 2m-wide SPIKA Parasite for the 24th Triennale Milano International Exhibition.

The next step was to sequence the DNA from Friede’s b-cells (a type of immune cell) that produced those two antibodies, then insert the genes responsible into a kind of virus called a bacteriophage.

In 2012, researchers isolated a new virus that infects and kills this bacterium—a bacteriophage named φTE (phiTE). Now, for the first time, scientists have uncovered the atomic structure of ...

The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say. By Apoorva Mandavilli Robert F.

The viruses, however, are unlikely to affect humans. They are bacteriophages, a type of virus that preys on bacteria. The expedition into bathroom biodiversity was recently published in the journal ...
