From medicine to agriculture and aquaculture, bacteriophages are poised to have a huge global impact. As viruses which target only bacterial cells, they hold promise as an alternative to antibiotics, overcoming increasing issues around antibiotic resistance. However, the size, complexity and growth conditions of phages make them difficult to study, limiting progress in the field. Now in Science Advances, researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and University of Otago describe the bacteriophage Bas63 in unprecedented detail, supporting new mechanistic understanding into how these viruses function.
A new study finds that sustainable aviation fuel made from municipal solid waste could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80-90% compared with traditional jet fuel.
A new study led by Carnegie Mellon’s Wood Neuro Research Group is using brain imaging and digital visualization to uncover how sickle cell pain is processed, helping bridge the gap between patients and clinicians.
