Bacteria fend off invading viruses with molecular scissors that slice up viral DNA - a system called CRISPR that's become ...

Scientists at Stanford University have discovered that DRT3, a unique defense system found in bacteria, creates DNA to ...

As antibiotic resistance grows, scientists are turning to bacteriophages, viruses that target harmful bacteria without wiping ...

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 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 ...

A newly discovered virus hiding inside common gut bacteria may be linked to colorectal cancer, according to new research. Scientists in Denmark found that colorectal cancer patients were about twice ...

Scientists built a model that allows them to diminish phage communities from a mouse gut microbiome -- and then bring them back -- without affecting the bacteria. On a test run of their model, ...

Researchers discover a hidden virus in gut bacteria that could explain colon cancer and help detect it earlier ...
