Tiny viruses that infect bacteria could one day help us tackle infections that antibiotics can no longer treat. But first, ...

The findings represent the first genomes, or complete genetic instruction books, designed entirely with generative A.I. The ...

Artificial intelligence has designed viruses that can infect bacteria and reproduce—a first that shows AI is beginning to do ...

The use of AI systems to create viruses opens up new possibilities for combating bacterial resistance. It also raises concerns about the pace at which technology is outstripping regulation.

While these viruses could offer a new weapon in the fight against antimicrobial resistance, the breakthrough also raises worries of AI-designed bioweapons.

A petri dish full of dead bacteria isn’t usually cause for celebration. But for Stanford’s Brian Hie it was a game-changer in his efforts to create synthetic life. The perpetrator was a type of virus ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have built a cancer therapy that makes bacteria and viruses work as a team. In a study published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the Synthetic Biological ...

Cancer research has long looked at bacteria and viruses as separate tools for therapy. Now, researchers are showing that the two can actually work better together. A team of scientists has built a new ...

Researchers engineered bacteria to deliver hidden viruses into tumors, bypassing the immune system and unleashing a new strategy for targeted cancer treatment. The new platform combines the bacteria’s ...

Engineered viruses using bacteria as a Trojan horse could be the next big thing in cancer treatment. Instead of bacteria and viruses burdening us with disease, what if we flipped the script and used ...

Cholera-causing bacteria are locked in an evolutionary arms race with a viral nemesis, according to a new genomic study. Experts at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, icddr,b (International Centre for ...
