Meet the jumbo phage. Scientists believe they’ve cracked the code on how its ‘secret handshakes’ act as a shield against the ...

Huge, bacteria-eating viruses could be a game-changer for antibiotics that currently struggle to fend off deadly infections.

In the face of rising concerns about antibiotic resistant infections, an international group of microbial experts have ...

Jumbo phages use a protein shield to protect their DNA from bacterial attacks. A special handshake controls which molecules enter.

Researchers explore the cellular and molecular adaptations associated with human secondary lymphoid tissue in adults during ...

Our immune systems rely on iron to function, but so do invading viruses and bacteria. New research from Binghamton University ...

Maybe you've been in a room recently with someone who's coughing, but they say "I promise it's not COVID." While it's important to still be cautious about COVID-19, there are other viral ...

It’s important to note that researchers are likely at least 10 to 30 years away from creating mirror bacteria. On the timescale of a fast-moving field like synthetic biology, a decade is a very long ...
