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 ...

In a breakthrough that pushes the boundaries of synthetic biology, researchers have for the first time used artificial intelligence to design viruses capable of infecting and killing bacteria. The ...

AI thrives on data but feeding it the right data is harder than it seems. As enterprises scale their AI initiatives, they face the challenge of managing diverse data pipelines, ensuring proximity to ...

Picture this: a computer sitting in a lab, essentially “thinking up” brand new forms of life from scratch. That’s exactly what just happened at Stanford and the Arc Institute, where researchers used ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have built a cancer therapy that makes bacteria and viruses work as a team. In a study published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the Synthetic Biological ...

Bacteria-killing viruses built from scratch in a University of Pittsburgh lab could be a breakthrough in the battle against fearsome antibiotic-resistant infections. Pitt biotechnology researcher ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and emerging viruses are a rapidly increasing threat to the global healthcare system. Around 5 million deaths each year are linked to antibiotic-resistant germs, and more ...

University of Exeter scientists studied chemical communication by phages (viruses that infect bacteria). The phages assessed in the study have two choices when they enter a cell: lie dormant or kill ...

The gum is made from a bean plant and contains antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties. It’s being tested against HPV, influenza and other diseases.
