Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As ...
Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...
When scientists sent bacteria and their viral predators, bacteriophages, to the International Space Station (ISS), they ...
Bacteria and viruses are locked in a slow motion battle aboard the ISS that looks nothing like life on the ground.
When scientists sent bacteria-infecting viruses to the International Space Station, the microbes did not behave the same way ...
On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...
Results from a new study are providing new insights into the therapeutic potential of bacteriophage (phage) therapy for treating diseases like cystic fibrosis (CF). Results from a new Dartmouth-led ...
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 ...
