Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and ...
Scientists have made the first step towards creating new species in the lab. Researchers have used artificial intelligence to ...
Long before humans became interested in killing bacteria, viruses were on the job. Viruses that attack bacteria, termed “phages” (short for bacteriophage), were first identified by their ability to ...
Jumbo phages belong to a group of viruses that attack bacteria. They inject their DNA and then reproduce by taking over the cell’s DNA-copying machinery. Eventually, a phage makes so many copies of ...
Scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have revealed that bacteriophages use a small RNA molecule to hijack bacterial cells, a mechanism that had never been described before. A tiny viral ...
Pick two.” But a team from the University of Virginia School of Medicine has discovered a way to make vaccines that embrace ...
We share the world with vast numbers of microbes, including archaea, bacteria, and viruses. These microbes have numerous survival strategies. Some bacteria, for example, are able to enter dormant ...
The primary cause was likely the microgravity itself, since that environment prevents convection—the natural movement of ...
Scientists have discovered a new type of immune defense in E. coli bacteria that turns viral infection machinery against the virus itself. Named after the Chinese military strategist Kongming—who ...
Viruses may get a bad rap, but some of them can be helpful to fight off bacterial infections. Scientists at ETH Zurich have demonstrated a new way to use them to diagnose which bacteria is causing a ...
The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the most unique environments where life has ever existed, out in the low orbit of Earth. And research out today finds that bacteriophages—the viruses ...
University of Delaware undergraduate student Spencer Toth was always interested in the environment and biology, so when she arrived at UD and realized that she could combine both of her passions by ...
