Scientists continue to learn more and more about bacteria that exists naturally inside our gut. Researchers at Virginia Tech ...
It is a great pleasure to announce that Professor Robert T. Schooley, from the University of California, San Diego (USA), ...
A world of microbes resides within the gut of every human being. This vast microbial community, the microbiome, which includes bacteria and viruses, has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to actively ...
The Human Virome Program will analyse samples from thousands of volunteers in an effort to understand how viruses affect ...

ZME Science on MSNThe phage wars: multiple viruses block each other from infecting cells“The field of phage biology has seen an explosion over the last decade because more researchers are realizing the ...
Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage therapy' trials predating Fleming's discovery of penicillin by approximately a decade. In this ...
An inner-membrane-anchored complex detects phage infection, resulting in recruitment of enzymes inside the cell that digest incoming phage DNA, thereby rapidly preventing infection. Membrane ...
In this way, scientists could retain only positive clones and immediately use their selected phage to generate more phages. This made screening higher throughput, as researchers could screen thousands ...
The Phage Genomics Lab courses ,sponsored by the HHMI Science Education Alliance, offers introductory biology students an authentic research experience. Students isolate novel bacteriophage from the ...
Shelby is an assistant editor for The Scientist. She earned her PhD from West Virginia University in immunology and microbiology and completed an AAAS Mass Media fellowship.
Researchers are investigating whether certain viruses known as bacteriophages, or phages, which specifically infect bacteria but not human cells, affect the development of type 1 diabetes in young ...
