The structure of the PP7 bacteriophage coat protein revealed a mode of RNA binding that is distinct from that of the well-characterized MS2 coat protein, suggesting new orthogonal systems for RNA ...

Researchers at Pitt have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage–phage for short–that has allowed them to ...

The Phage Genomics Lab courses ,sponsored by the HHMI Science Education Alliance, offers introductory biology students an authentic research experience. Students isolate novel bacteriophage from the ...

The team then synthesized a lysin from a bacteriophage, or virus that attacks bacteria, that infects S. hominis. During in vitro experiments, this lysin was found to target only S. hominis ...

With antimicrobial resistance rising as one of the world's most pressing health threats, the 8th World Congress on Targeting ...

We initiated the project to establish the logistics and practical issues in setting up and maintaining a collection of therapeutic phages. In order to run PT service for clinicians, safe bacteriophage ...

Aims: Novel anticancer strategies have employed bacteriophages as drug carriers and display platforms for anticancer agents; however, bacteriophage-based platforms maintain their natural ...
