Levin, B., Bull, J., “Phage Therapy Revisited: The Population Biology of a Bacterial Infection and its Treatment with Bacteriophage Antibiotics,” The American Naturalist. Nov 17, 2011 - It's no accident, then, that a great deal of hope and effort is being invested in developing synthetic biology for many difficult to treat diseases such as cancers, antibiotic resistant infections or genetic disorders. Jan 7, 2011 - Not all biology students get to experience scientific research firsthand, but the National Genomics Research Initiative (NGRI) is working to change that. He might have been wrong about the biology but the premise that the cure is transmissible certainly seems possible with replicating phages. Even though the discipline is in its infancy, there are A second study described by Ruder et al produced bacteriophages that, once inside an infected bacterium, turned off the mechanisms that protect it from antibiotics. Nov 24, 2013 - This overview summarizes principles of phage biology and their translation for therapeutic and preventive applications. Undergraduate Biology Initiatives. The goal is to Undergraduates taking part in the courses become bacteriophage "hunters," sampling their local environments for novel bacteriophage species. PULSE Project · Introductory At present, a competitive application process determines which institutions become part of NGRI. Reprinted from Meaden S and Koskella B (2013) Exploring the risks of phage application in the environment. The potential benefits of phage therapy are huge. Typical production of phage biopesticide. May 10, 2014 - Phage cocktail production. The phage DNA/RNA and capsids assemble, . Apr 29, 2011 - After this, the phage uses the machinery of the cell to make viral proteins, which happens exactly the same way as if the bacterial cell were making its own proteins, except viral RNA is now transcribed, not bacterial. Dec 12, 2012 - While infection of bacteria used in the fermentation industry can be very problematic and result in financial losses, in other scenarios, phage infection of bacteria can be exploited for industrial and/or medical applications.
