Researchers from New England Biolabs (NEB®) and Yale University describe the first fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering ...

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 ...

Explore the potential of bacteriophages as a breakthrough therapy against bacterial infections amidst rising antibiotic ...

The laboratories of the International Space Station (ISS) offer a unique observation ground for the evolution of microbes. A ...

An electron micrograph— a photograph taken by means of a transmission electron microscope—of the DT57C bacteriophage. These types of images have been used to obtain a three-dimensional structure of ...

"Microgravity pushed evolution into corners of the phage we still don't fully understand" ...

New research shows how surface material and temperature change how long viruses survive and whether they can still spread.

Bacteria pose significant challenges to the food industry, from contaminating crops and livestock to jeopardizing ready-to-eat foods. To address these concerns, a Swiss startup, NEMIS Technologies AG, ...
