Researchers have mapped out what a commonly-used form of phage looks like, which will help design better uses in future. New insights into the structure of phages will enable researchers to develop ...
Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are viruses that infect bacteria. Using phages therapeutically could be very useful in ...
A joint research team from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Institute of Technology has uncovered a pivotal mechanism by which bacteria defend themselves ...
