Jumbo phages use a protein shield to protect their DNA from bacterial attacks. A special handshake controls which molecules enter.

Phages are viruses that attack bacteria by injecting their DNA, then usurping bacterial machinery to reproduce. Eventually, ...

Phyla, a new skincare brand backed by Ryan Reynolds and Shiseido, uses natural phage technology to clear up pimples.

We found that it works like a tiny motor powered by protons. This motor helps the bacteria detect a virus attack and sends signals to activate other parts of the Zorya system. These parts then ...

Conserved immune pathways “What we’ve been finding is the way that bacteria stop phages is very similar to the ways that humans fight off their pathogens,” Ledvina says. “The same proteins, as well as ...
