In a recent review published in Cell, researchers presented an overview of bacteriophage treatment, including mechanisms, types, design and applications of bacteriophage therapy. Study: Phage therapy: ...

A team of researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California San Diego used a single bacteriophage to treat an immunocompromised patient with ...

In this work, a complex in vivo model of tumors accompanied by surgical wound infection was applied. Bacteriophages modified with anticancer YIGSR peptides acted as the active agents. Evaluation of ...
