When a virus enters a cell, its top priority is to replicate its genome rapidly, creating new viruses to infect elsewhere.

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

For billions of years, bacteria have waged an ongoing arms race against viruses, evolving many defense mechanisms against the infectious invaders. Now, these evolutions may offer innovative ways for ...

When we think of viruses, we mainly think of human diseases, particularly those that are difficult to deal with. However, there is a class of viruses known as bacteriophages that do not infect humans ...

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 uncover a notorious cholera strain that contains sophisticated immune systems to fend off viruses, which potentially helped it to fuel a devastating epidemic across Latin America. When we ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge that could overtake cancer mortality within a few decades. In a new study, researchers show that the emergence of resistance can be understood in the ...

Biochemists at Caltech have identified how viruses have converged on a method for killing bacteria. The researchers have homed in on an underexplored small transporter called MurJ that is a vital part ...

Head and neck cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, which affects the mouth, throat, voice box, nose, and ...

Peering through his microscope in 1910, Franco-Canadian microbiologist Félix d'Hérelle noticed some "clear spots" in his bacterial cultures, an anomaly that turned out to be viruses preying on the ...
