Researchers uncover new ways to combat pathogenic bacteria

Scientists from Skoltech and research centers in Sweden and Switzerland have presented results that explain the mechanism of interaction between bacteria and phages—viruses that infect bacterial cells. The discovery is ...

Scientists engineer living DNA sensors

Early detection of infectious diseases can be key to successful treatment, but we often don't know we are infected until symptoms appear. What if our bodies could detect the presence of an infectious pathogen before the onset ...

Bee disease offers rare insights into RNA virus origins
