Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the human gut, could spread as quickly as swine flu, new ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have found a way to make synthetic viruses that can kill bacteria. They hope to use the method to develop a new treatment for dangerous infections. Using an AI model trained on ...

Through cutting-edge methods and advanced artificial intelligence analysis, UNC Charlotte researchers leading a ...

Scientists have created the first ever viruses designed by artificial intelligence (AI), and they’re capable of hunting down and killing strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli). “This is the first time ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to build brand-new viruses, opening the door to AI-designed forms of life. The viruses are different enough from existing strains to potentially ...

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.
