The underexplored role of phages in human health Bacteriophages play a significant role in shaping microbial ecosystems, including the human gut microbiota. The gut microbiota refers to the dynamic ...
Research presents an assembly-line approach using bacteriophage T4 components to construct artificial viral vectors (AVVs). These AVVs have the potential to revolutionize gene therapies and ...
The wounds were located in the areas of tumors. Bacteriophages (T4) were modified with anticancer Tyr–Ile–Gly–Ser–Arg (YIGSR) peptides by phage display and injected intraperitoneally.
The use of biorecognition elements such as antibodies, aptamers, nucleic acids, and bacteriophages significantly enhances ...
Venigalla B. Rao, PhD, has been studying bacteriophages for more than four decades, mostly in small laboratories with limited personnel and funding. But having a mere eight-person lab (four post ...
Enrollment has begun in an early-stage clinical trial evaluating bacteriophage therapy in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) who carry Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) in their lungs. The ...
Pioneering work to develop effective and safe bacteriophages to combat disease has received an £800,000 boost. The grant from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC ...
