Biologists converted gut bacteria into miniature protein factories that manufacture and release a sustained flow of targeted proteins inside the lower intestines. This technique solves one of the ...

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

In the face of rising concerns about antibiotic resistant infections, an international group of microbial experts have launched a powerful and flexible free online genomic toolkit for more rapid ...

Jumbo phages utilize a complex protein import system, with Imp1 as a key gatekeeper, to transport proteins into their ...

It uses this genetic material to create a restricted space inside bacteria where it can copy its DNA while ... Jumbo phages belong to a group of viruses called bacteriophages, or phages for short, ...

Phage therapy is an emerging method for treating bacterial infections using bacteriophages—viruses that specifically infect and destroy bacteria. This approach harnesses the natural ability of ...

Addressing one of the longstanding challenges in gastrointestinal drug delivery, Virginia Tech researchers have transformed gut bacteria into tiny protein factories. These engineered microbes ...

Jumbo phages belong to a group of viruses called bacteriophages, or phages for short, which were discovered more than a century ago. Initially, phages were seen as a way to treat bacterial ...

Bacteriophages (phages for short) are viruses that naturally infect bacteria. Phages are harder ... a constant supply of a targeted protein inside the lower intestine. Even though phages act ...
