He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

The primary criticism of phage therapy is generally that a paucity of modern, double-blinded, Phase III (efficacy) clinical trials in humans have been undertaken and, therefore, a substantial ...

As antibiotic resistance reaches critical levels worldwide, the 8th World Congress on Targeting Phage Therapy (June 10–11, 2025) returns to Berlin, bringing together over 75 international ...

This new study now attempts to understand, in a lab setting, how those ancient RNA first began replication, a process that’s essential to understanding the foundation of life.

Berlin, Germany – As antibiotic resistance accelerates into a global crisis, phage therapy is emerging as one of the most promising—and urgent—solutions in modern medicine. From June 10–11 ...

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

A world of microbes resides within the gut of every human being. This vast microbial community, the microbiome, which includes bacteria and viruses, has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to ...

Nearly Forgotten ‘Phage Therapy’ Fights Antibiotic Resistance In a new book, a science journalist recounts the story of a lifesaving treatment for infection that scientists broadly dismissed ...

With the rapid development of antibiotics in the 1930s, phage therapy – using viruses known as bacteriophages or phages to tackle bacterial infections – fell into oblivion.

Researchers have a new battle tactic to fight drug-resistant bacterial infections. Their strategy involves using collections of bacteriophages, viruses that naturally attack bacteria. In a new ...

Phage Therapy’s Neglected Potential Is Finally Being Realized Technologies for generating superphages and optimizing phage cocktails are poised to overcome antibiotic resistance and resolve ...

Drug Development Largest ever phage therapy trial shows promise for UTI treatment Urinary tract–infecting E. coli are increasingly antibiotic resistant but phage therapy offers a compelling ...
