Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a live-imaging system, Phollow, that tracks individual bacteriophages as they spread through the gut of zebrafish, showing that ...

As antibacterial resistance continues to render obsolete the use of some antibiotics, some have turned to bacteria-killing viruses to treat acute infections as well as some chronic illnesses. Graham ...

Bacteria have evolved sophisticated antiphage systems that halt phage replication upon detecting specific phage triggers. Identifying phage triggers is crucial to our understanding of immune ...

As the number of antibiotic-resistant infections continues to rise, scientists are looking to bacteriophages (“phages”), viruses that infect bacteria, as an approach to tackling antibiotic resistance.

Mammalian cells initiate antiviral signaling when cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) detects cytoplasmic DNA and synthesizes 2',3'-cyclic GMP-AMP (2',3'-cGAMP), which activates stimulator of interferon ...
