The work, described in a preprint paper, has the potential to create new treatments and accelerate research into artificially ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at North Carolina State University have developed a method to precisely edit a single gene in a targeted bacterial species within a microbial community, using viruses that attack bacteria ...

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 ...

Our mouths and guts are teeming with mysterious somethings that are unknown to science, new research suggests. A team says they’ve discovered distinct virus-like structures hanging out among the ...
