Eventually, new bacteriophages assemble and burst out of the bacterium in a process called lysis. Bacteriophages occasionally remove a portion of their host cells' bacterial DNA during the ...

Fig. 1 | Engineering bacteriophage-based antibacterial agents. Cytophage has developed a versatile technology for the rapid engineering of traits, such as lytic, structural, attachment and other ...

Bacteriophages, natural "predators" of bacteria, are considered one of the alternatives. The Laboratory for Metagenome Analysis at the Skoltech Bio Center works on the research on bacteriophages ...

Larry Gold upon his arrival at the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Starting with basic research on bacteria and bacteriophage, the lab shifted its focus to human disease ...

Aims: Novel anticancer strategies have employed bacteriophages as drug carriers and display platforms for anticancer agents; however, bacteriophage-based platforms maintain their natural ...

The plan is to examine the same process but apply a better experimental method. We’re hoping that this will help us find new ...

The clinical trial process is slow—and for a reason: you don’t want to put something out there that could cause more harm than good, right? So bacteriophages are still in the fairly early stages.
