Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." Scientists ...

Immune cells that eat bacteria in the body don't stash them in specialized compartments as once thought, but turn them into critical nutrients that build proteins, create energy and keep the cells ...

An article highlights new insights into the PARIS, an immune system that bacteria use to respond to viral infections. Scientists at Montana State University have been studying unique immune systems ...

Cleveland Clinic researchers have discovered that bacteria inside cancerous tumors may be key to understanding why ...
