Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...
When scientists sent bacteria-infecting viruses to the International Space Station, the microbes did not behave the same way ...
Scientists found that the space station phages gradually accumulated specific mutations that boosted their infectivity, or ...
On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...
Picture this: a computer sitting in a lab, essentially “thinking up” brand new forms of life from scratch. That’s exactly what just happened at Stanford and the Arc Institute, where researchers used ...
Virus-built silver nanoparticles kill drug-resistant bacteria at ultra-low doses and slow resistance development by 10-fold.
Their discovery of how these viruses enter cells, and the subsequent development of the decoys, potentially sets the stage for new strategies to prevent and treat tick-borne encephalitis viruses, ...
