Researchers at the Nanoscience Center of the University of Jyväskylä have achieved a first in Finland by isolating a giant ...

Researchers have isolated a giant virus, which was named Jyvaskylavirus. The discovery shows that giant viruses are more common in northern regions than researchers have thought. It also illustrates ...

For the first time in Finland, researchers at the Nanoscience Center in University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have isolated a ...

While CO₂ doesn’t transmit viruses itself, it acts as a proxy for indoor crowding and poor ventilation. The more people in a ...

Bacteria, which are susceptible to infection by bacteriophages, often carry multiple genes encoding anti-phage defense ...

For the first time in Finland, researchers at the Nanoscience Center in University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have isolated a ...

Researchers at Pitt have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage–phage for short–that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

Mycobacteria are the world’s most deadly bacteria—causing infectious diseases including tuberculosis (TB), which alone kills ...

Microbial infections are a major global health concern, causing worldwide millions of deaths per year. These infections, ...

Gene editing and many other useful biotechnology tools came from studies of bacteria fighting off viral invaders. But ...

A new study from researchers at the George Washington University has found that certain bacteria living in the nose may influence how likely someone is to get a COVID-19 infection. Published in ...

However, the bacteria themselves are vulnerable to infection by a type of virus called bacteriophages ... This happens because a key protein expressed by one of the genes forms a structure around an ...
