Viruses that evolved on the space station and were sent back to Earth were more effective at killing bacteria
Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...
On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...

Controlled experiment allowed viruses to attack bacteria in space—and the results surprised scientists
For the research, scientists compared samples incubated on Earth and on the International Space Station.
The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the most unique environments where life has ever existed, out in the low ...
Deep tooth infections can quietly fuel inflammation that disrupts blood sugar control, and treating them may benefit overall metabolic health.
Bacteria and viruses are often lumped together as germs, and they share many characteristics. They’re invisible to the human eye. They’re everywhere. And both can make us sick, even kill us. That last ...
Researchers at Columbia Engineering have built a cancer therapy that makes bacteria and viruses work as a team. In a study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the Synthetic Biological Systems ...
The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua W. Modell ...
