BUFFALO, N.Y. – Soon after joining the faculty at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in March 2020, Kathryn Kauffman, assistant professor of oral biology, created a laboratory to ...
With the rapid development of antibiotics in the 1930s, phage therapy -- using viruses known as bacteriophages or phages to tackle bacterial infections -- fell into oblivion. But as the current rise ...
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect and kill bacteria. These microscopic predators are found everywhere, from ...
Ella Balasa was 26 when she realized the routine medical treatments that sustained her were no longer working. The slender lab assistant had lived since childhood with the side effects of cystic ...
Bacteriophage. A bacteriophage is constituted of a proteic envelope (called capsid), containing its nucleic acid (DNA or RNA), and a tail. The tail includes a collar (covered with contractile proteins ...
Researchers develop a way to make lifesaving phages accessible, transportable and much easier to use
Researchers have developed a simple way to bring bacteriophage therapy into much closer reach for clinicians struggling to save patients with antimicrobial-resistant infections. The technology makes ...
At the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)—Flanders Institute for Biotechnology (VIB), biologist Jessie Vandierendonck has been investigating new, alternative treatments to combat bacterial infections ...
Scientists at the University of Leicester have developed a new technique that will turbocharge the use of phages for ...
Phages—tiny entities that infect bacteria—were discovered over 100 years ago but were largely abandoned as therapies. Now they’re making a comeback. This article is from The Checkup, MIT Technology ...
Researchers at the University of Southampton have worked out how bacteria defend themselves against viruses called phages and the new insights could be key to tackling antibiotic resistance. Phages ...
Attachment of a bacterial protein to the tips of phage tails produces non-infectious, tailless phages. “Many of these bacterial systems have been shown to be the evolutionary origin of different human ...
