NewsVirus that infected the first animals now essential for development of the human embryo
All animals have evolved thanks to the fact that certain viruses infected primitive organisms hundreds of millions of years ago. Researchers now describe the role played by these viruses in a process that is absolutely vital for our development.

NewsAntibiotics highjack bacterial immunity
Molecular defense system protects bacteria from viruses and at the same time makes them susceptible to antibiotics.
-
NewsPhages found that bring slumbering bacteria out of deep sleep and then kill them
Researchers questioning whether evolution might have produced bacteriophages that specialise in dormant bacteria and could be used to target them have now shown that such phages, though rare, do indeed exist.
