Also, there’s still no easy way to test AI designs for larger genomes. While some viruses can “boot up” from just a DNA ...

Inject this synthetic phage into E. coli and it kills better than the real thing A group of Stanford bioengineers claim that they've created synthetic bacteriophages using AI-generated designs that ...

AI designed new bacteriophages that killed E. coli in lab tests, promising advances but raising safety concerns.

Rather than a slow, gradual process as Darwin envisioned, biologists can now see how evolutionary changes unfold on much more accelerated timescales. Using an accelerated arms race between bacteria ...

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, ...

Scientists at the Hormel Institute - University of Minnesota are solving the mysteries on how certain viruses work by creating 3-D printed models of them.

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 ...

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 ...

Instead of bacteria and viruses burdening us with disease, what if we flipped the script and used their natural talents to give dangerous tumors an infection as a way of fighting cancer? Microbes come ...
