Phage therapy is emerging as a potential solution to antibiotic resistance and superbugs, with clinical advances in ...

Scientists insert variable DNA sequences coding for their proteins of interest into plasmids that carry a phage coat protein gene, an antibiotic resistance gene, and a packaging signal. Then they ...

In the early and mid-1980s, scientists used phages to express recombinant proteins. The protein was retained inside the virions, so screening required growing viral plaques, creating a stamp of these ...

Growing antimicrobial resistance is prompting renewed interest in phage therapy, with preliminary data indicating improved outcomes when combined with standard antibiotics.

When a person receives a cancer diagnosis, treatment can often include chemotherapy. This method of treating cancer also can affect healthy cells. But what if there was a drug on the market that, ...
