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 ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

University of Toronto researchers have made the first discovery of a virus that infects Legionella pneumophila, the bacteria that causes Legionnaires' disease. The findings, published in Science ...

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 ...

Scientists have engineered a groundbreaking cancer treatment that uses bacteria to smuggle viruses directly into tumors, bypassing the immune system and delivering a powerful one-two punch against ...

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat, one that health officials say could lead to 10 million deaths by 2050. It’s a scenario that makes discovering new ways to combat drug-resistant infections ...

Experts can now predict the transmission rate of a bacterial E. coli infection in the same way as they can for viral pandemics, which can help battling treatment-resistant infections in the future.
