University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

By simplifying the engineering process and expanding what can be built, the Golden Gate method greatly broadens the possibilities for scientists working to develop bacteriophages as tools to combat ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs (NEB®) and Yale University describe the first fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering system for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an antibiotic-resistant bacterium of ...

Here’s what you will learn when you read this story: For nearly a century, antibiotics have saved untold millions from death, but the rise of antimicrobial resistant organisms (or superbugs) is ...

Bacteria incubated with bacteriophages in space accumulated distinct mutations compared to those on Earth, highlighting the ...

Artificial intelligence has crossed a new threshold in biology, helping design viruses that can seek out and kill drug resistant bacteria such as dangerous strains of E. coli. Instead of discovering ...

The researchers took a “safety-first” approach. They deliberately excluded all viruses that infect humans or animals from the ...

Scientists can now design fully synthetic bacteriophages, with potential to reshape the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Skoltech researchers and their colleagues from the Pasteur Institute and the University of Lorraine, France, have uncovered some of the inner workings of a recently discovered bacterial immune system ...
