University of Toronto researchers have made the first discovery of a virus that infects Legionella pneumophila, the bacteria that causes Legionnaires' disease.

Understanding the interaction between immune cells and cancer cells has important implications for cancer immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitor drugs and cell-based therapies, as well as ...

Scientists have used AI to design bacteriophages, or viruses that infect only bacteria. Does the prospect of designing viruses with AI pose threats to biosecurity?

This manuscript applies state-of-the-art techniques to define the cellular composition of the dorsal vagal complex in two rodent species (mice and rats). The result is a fundamental resource that ...

A team of researchers designs a ChatGPT that 'speaks in DNA', capable of creating new species that do not exist in nature and that would allow the creation of a second 'tree of life', new metabolisms, ...

Even if you are lucky enough not to contract the airborne virus, someone you know and care about most likely will. But even beyond that, a pandemic would so severely affect the global supply chain ...
