University of Toronto researchers have discovered nine new genes used by bacteria to protect themselves against ...

isolate and culture B cells that were fused to immortalized cells, and then screen them. With phage display, it was possible to isolate the genetic material from B cells from immunized animals or ...

Whilst the ultimate outcome of the lytic cycle is production of new phage progeny and death of the host bacterial cell, this is a multistep process involving precise coordination of gene transcription ...

“This work is unique because we looked at phage infection at the level of individual bacterial cells.” Specifically, Golding ...

Bacteria navigate tradeoffs between phage resistance and interbacterial competition. This study reveals that while LPS ...

terminate their infections by lysing the cells they have infected. Depending on the life cycle of the phage, this lysis can occur either soon after the initiation of infection (lytic cycle ...

Here we introduce a new approach for the screening, selection and sorting of cell-surface–binding peptides from phage libraries. Biopanning and rapid analysis of selective interactive ligands ...

By testing the Phage Library on both whole lung tumour cells and normal cells ... these environments – including plants, animals and debris – also poses a challenge to robotic swimmers.

The Phage Genomics Lab courses ,sponsored by the HHMI Science Education Alliance, offers introductory biology students an authentic research experience. Students isolate novel bacteriophage from the ...

which specifically infect bacteria but not human cells, affect the development of type 1 diabetes in young children. Because phages exert pressure on the bacteria they infect and some phage ...
