By tracking plasmids that were selectively depleted, we identified over 100 candidate phage trigger- E. coli pairs. Two phage trigger proteins were investigated in detail, revealing a novel antiphage ...

Phage - the friendly virus Phage science may sound new and exciting, but it is actually a century old idea stemming from the discoveries of Felix d'Hérelle and Frederick Twort in the 1910s.

Kelvin Okafor is using his latest exhibition, “Drawing Awareness,” to call attention to different skin conditions, with portraits of people including model Winnie Harlow and singer Seal.

The primary criticism of phage therapy is generally that a paucity of modern, double-blinded, Phase III (efficacy) clinical trials in humans have been undertaken and, therefore, a substantial ...

As antibiotic resistance reaches critical levels worldwide, the 8th World Congress on Targeting Phage Therapy (June 10–11, 2025) returns to Berlin, bringing together over 75 international ...

Berlin, Germany – As antibiotic resistance accelerates into a global crisis, phage therapy is emerging as one of the most promising—and urgent—solutions in modern medicine. From June 10–11 ...

A world of microbes resides within the gut of every human being. This vast microbial community, the microbiome, which includes bacteria and viruses, has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to ...

Dozens of drawings Michelangelo made while planning the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel will go on view at the Muscarelle Museum of Art.

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that kill certain bacteria. If antibiotics don’t work on your infection, phage therapy may be able to do the job instead.

Nearly Forgotten ‘Phage Therapy’ Fights Antibiotic Resistance In a new book, a science journalist recounts the story of a lifesaving treatment for infection that scientists broadly dismissed ...

The Phage Whisperer Biswajit Biswas drew a syringe full of phage and injected it into his laboratory mice, one after another. The mice weren't sick, so he wasn't using phages as medicine.

Technologies for generating superphages and optimizing phage cocktails are poised to overcome antibiotic resistance and resolve microbiome dysbiosis.
