Cancer research has long looked at bacteria and viruses as separate tools for therapy. Now, researchers are showing that the two can actually work better together. A team of scientists has built a new ...

A petri dish full of dead bacteria isn’t usually cause for celebration. But for Stanford’s Brian Hie it was a game-changer in his efforts to create synthetic life. The perpetrator was a type of virus ...

Viruses that attack bacteria, known as bacteriophages, could help doctors fight hospital infections that no longer respond to ...

Human Buddy is an animated show that explores the wonders of the human body in a fun and entertaining style. This episode delves into what happens when we’re infected by a virus. #humanbuddy ...

New research shows some gut bacteria mimic myelin, tricking immunity to attack nerves and worsen MS. Non-inflammatory ...

Scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to build brand-new viruses, opening the door to AI-designed forms of life. The viruses are different enough from existing strains to potentially ...

Penn State scientists uncovered an ancient bacterial defense where dormant viral DNA helps bacteria fight new viral threats. The enzyme PinQ flips bacterial genes to create protective proteins that ...

Researchers uncover a notorious cholera strain that contains sophisticated immune systems to fend off viruses, which potentially helped it to fuel a devastating epidemic across Latin America. When we ...
