As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Focusing on the futuristic tech that appears in sci-fi without paying attention to the actual point of the story is a big ...

Bird flu resists fever’s heat; a viral gene enables replication at high temperatures, bypassing immune defences.

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

Scientists have discovered that avian influenza viruses have a gene that makes them incredibly resistant to heat, rendering our body's natural defense system – fever – powerless in fighting infection.

The death toll and economic damage associated with flu highlight its role as one of the most harmful viruses in history.

A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on ...

Researchers report that phage resistance in ocean bacteria can alter growth, metabolism and sinking behavior, revealing a ...
