Scientists continue to learn more and more about bacteria that exists naturally inside our gut. Researchers at Virginia Tech ...
The Human Virome Program will analyse samples from thousands of volunteers in an effort to understand how viruses affect ...
“The field of phage biology has seen an explosion over the last decade because more researchers are realizing the ...
It is a great pleasure to announce that Professor Robert T. Schooley, from the University of California, San Diego (USA), ...
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 ...
Related: Dangerous 'superbugs' are a growing threat, and antibiotics can't stop their rise. What can? Biswajit Biswas drew a syringe full of phage and injected it into his laboratory mice ...
As it relates to type 1 diabetes, the team didn't find any major phages or phage communities linked to a greater or lesser risk of developing the disease in this cohort. The findings nevertheless ...
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 ...
Future Microbiol. 2013;8(6):769-783. The use of phage cocktails can be conceptually differentiated into: efforts that seek to broaden the utility of phage formulations, that is, what diseases or ...
