Viruses Can Work Against Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria, New Research Shows
The new study focused on a specific protein used by bacteriophages. As antibiotic-resistant bacteria rise around the world, rendering traditional antibiotics ineffective, certain viruses could offer a solution. Viruses called bacteriophages or phages target bacteria but cannot infect humans or other higher organisms. Phages inject their DNA into bacterial cells and use the host’s resources […]

It's as simple as that,” says the geneticist and professor emeritus of medicine and genomics at the University of Aix-Marseille. […]
‘Resurrection Biology’ scientists working to bring back dodo, studying dormant ancient ‘zombie viruses’
Scientists around the world are working to revive ancient ice-encased cells in a bid to find new life-saving medicine sources and potentially bring back long-extinct species like the dodo bird. We are working on this. The science known as resurrection biology has made great strides in the past year, as researchers in the field look […]
