In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless ...

The International Space Station (ISS) is a closed ecosystem, and the biology inside it — including its microbial residents — ...

A new study has uncovered dynamics of virus-bacteria interactions in the microgravity environment of the International Space ...

The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the most unique environments where life has ever existed, out in the low ...

Discover the hidden world around you! Join your classmates and other student-scientists from schools all across the U.S. and beyond in a hunt for phages — viruses that infect bacteria. Day1: Phage ...

In an effort to illustrate that genomic surveillance can build the foundation for scaleable precision phage therapy, an international collaboration analyzed the genomes of over 15,000 cases of ...

With the rapid development of antibiotics in the 1930s, phage therapy – using viruses known as bacteriophages or phages to tackle bacterial infections – fell into oblivion. But as the current rise in ...

ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE killed over a million people in 2019. That figure is expected to rise to ten million by 2050. Antibiotics remain vital to modern medicine, but this hidden pandemic of ...

The number of adults living with diabetes worldwide is expected to reach approximately 783 million by 2045, which is a staggering healthcare burden. The condition occurs when the body cannot regulate ...

In the early and mid-1980s, scientists used phages to express recombinant proteins. The protein was retained inside the virions, so screening required growing viral plaques, creating a stamp of these ...
