In the early and mid-1980s, scientists used phages to express recombinant proteins. The protein was retained inside the virions, so screening required growing viral plaques, creating a stamp of these ...

Chemists are taking a p[h]age from bacteria's playbook in order to beat viruses at their own game and develop new drugs to fight cancer and a host of other human diseases in the process. Chemists at ...

When a person receives a cancer diagnosis, treatment can often include chemotherapy. This method of treating cancer also can affect healthy cells. But what if there was a drug on the market that, ...

Mapping the individual amino acids where antibodies bind (epitopes) to target viral proteins (antigens) is crucial to predicting how target proteins may evolve to escape antibody binding, improve ...

New Rochelle, NY, March 15, 2019 - Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers announces the launch of PHAGE: Therapy, Applications, and Research, the only peer-reviewed publication dedicated to the burgeoning ...

Reviewed by Michael Greenwood, M.Sc. In phage-display, a gene encoding the surface protein of a bacteriophage is replaced with a gene encoding a novel protein. The technique can be used in drug ...

Phage therapy used as an experimental therapy in 51 cystic fibrosis patients with multi-drug resistant infections showed that ...

Bacteriophages, the most abundant biological entities on Earth, are increasingly recognized not only for their roles in bacterial infection biology and therapeutic development but also as ...

The recently published recommendations of the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) shine a spotlight on the versatility and scientific benefits of universal antibody libraries in ...
