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.

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

Synthetic cells that look just like natural cells but are chemically reversed could outcompete other living organisms − with ...

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

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 ...
