A group of Stanford bioengineers claim that they've created synthetic bacteriophages using AI-generated designs that not only ...

To solve a problem, we have to see it clearly. Whether it's an infection by a novel virus or memory-stealing plaques forming ...

Scientists have decoded the 3D structure of an ancient viral protein hidden in our DNA. The HERV-K Env protein, found on cancer and autoimmune cells, has a unique shape that could unlock new ...

Scientists have engineered a groundbreaking cancer treatment that uses bacteria to smuggle viruses directly into tumors, bypassing the immune system and delivering a powerful one-two punch against ...

Viruses have shown huge potential in treating various kinds of cancer, but the immune response has limited their application to tumours near the body’s surface. Now, scientists have demonstrated that ...

Two studies have uncovered how combining a cancer-killing reovirus with targeted cancer drugs can dramatically boost immune responses and tumour destruction – offering a promising route to more ...

University of Toronto researchers have uncovered how bacterial viruses protect their progeny in order to maximize their reach. The phenomenon, described in a study published in Nature, relies on viral ...
