Viruses of bacteria, known as bacteriophages or phages, were discovered nearly 100 years ago. Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage ...

Gene-silencing techniques, such as antisense-RNA targeting of essential phage-encoded genes (for example, DNA replication) can effectively inhibit the propagation of virulent phages. Trans ...

These phages hijack bacteria, forcing them to produce more viruses until they burst. Now, researchers are uncovering the secrets of a rare type of bacteriophage known as a jumbo phage, which may hold ...

Phages are viruses that attack bacteria by injecting their DNA, then usurping bacterial machinery to reproduce. Eventually, they make so many copies of themselves that the bacteria burst. By looking ...

First-year biology students at Baylor University are making significant strides in biomedical research through the prestigious Science Education Alliance-Phages (SEA-PHAGES) program ... She is a ...

The potential of phages ... A small GMP facility should be set up along the lines of the UK’s Catapult network of technology and innovation hubs that could be used by phage developers who ...
