Researchers from New England Biolabs (NEB®) and Yale University describe the first fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering ...
While the world was busy arguing over AI-generated art and essays, a team at the Arc Institute and Stanford University was ...
Scientists can now design fully synthetic bacteriophages, with potential to reshape the fight against antibiotic resistance.
In orbit above Earth, scientists are watching some of the strangest life forms in the universe rewrite the rules of evolution in real time. Viruses that prey on bacteria, along with the bacteria ...
The Golden Gate Assembly platform engineers bacteriophages synthetically using sequence data rather than bacteriophage isolates.
Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...
Phages, viruses that thrive by infecting bacteria, have long been mooted as a potential replacement for antibiotics. But where antibiotics pose the problem of the bacteria they target mutating into ...
Peering through his microscope in 1910, Franco-Canadian microbiologist Félix d'Hérelle noticed some "clear spots" in his bacterial cultures, an anomaly that turned out to be viruses preying on the ...
For the first time, scientists have designed a phage combination therapy that can precisely target and suppress gut bacteria associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The work showcases the ...
