Scientists discover hidden virus in gut bacteria that may be linked to colorectal cancer development, offering new insights ...

Biochemists at Caltech have identified how viruses have converged on a method for killing bacteria. The researchers have homed in on an underexplored small transporter called MurJ that is a vital part ...

A vaccine usually trains your immune system to recognize one target. Here, the target is basically “anything that doesn’t ...

A previously unknown virus may be the key to assessing the risk of colorectal cancer and improving diagnosis.

Scientists have discovered something intriguing in a new type of organism that actually eats viruses. The organisms, which are known as virovores, don't just eat viruses accidentally, either. These ...

On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different paths ...

Since viruses are found absolutely everywhere, it’s inevitable that organisms will consume them incidentally. But researcher John DeLong at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln wanted to find out if any ...

The so-called “circle of life” dictates that if a living thing exists, it’s probably food for something else. Viruses, however, have historically managed to escape this unofficial rule. Although ...

Stanford Medicine researchers have developed an experimental nasal vaccine that shielded mouse lungs for at least three months against a striking range of respiratory threats, from SARS-CoV-2 and ...
