This is a human-written story voiced by AI. Got feedback? Take our survey. (See our AI policy here.) Artificial intelligence can dash off more than routine emails. It has now written tiny working ...

It is not only antibiotics but also certain viruses—known as bacteriophages—that can kill off pathogenic bacteria. However, Switzerland lacks the legal framework for the use of these viruses in ...

Can AI create a life form? These “generative” genomes are a start Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team ...

Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are viruses that infect bacteria. Using phages therapeutically could be very useful in fighting antibiotic-resistant pathogens, but the molecular interactions ...

A simple electrical method shows how protein nanowires carry both electrons and ions, offering a clearer way to design soft, tunable materials for body-compatible electronics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has published the U.K.’s first official guidance to support the safe development and use of phage therapies. The guidance aims to help ...

As antibiotic resistance reaches critical levels worldwide, the 8th World Congress on Targeting Phage Therapy (June 10–11, 2025) returns to Berlin, bringing together over 75 international speakers and ...

In cancer therapy research, scientists harness viruses and gene transfer to trigger immune-driven tumor destruction, offering hope against hard-to-treat melanoma. Study: A virus based vaccine combined ...

Bacteriophages, or “phages”, are viruses that can infect bacteria. With the number of bacteria that can evade antibiotics growing worryingly large, interest in using phages as therapies against ...
