An AI lab designed a virus, put it in a sick person, and then declined to say what happened.

Humans throughout history have invented a variety of ways to fight back against troublesome bacteria. But bacteria live in a ...

Certain viruses attack bacteria and can sometimes clear antibiotic-resistant infections. Researchers said they had tailored a ...

The San Francisco AI lab announced in October 2026 that bacteriophages designed by its new genome model had been administered ...

Researchers at Radical Numerics administered the AI bacteriophage, through an AI model called Omnii-1, to a patient ...

Newswise — In the fight to find better treatments for bacterial infections, one rapidly evolving therapy is a group of viruses called bacteriophages (phages). Phages can attack and kill dangerous ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of immune defense in E. coli bacteria that turns viral infection machinery against the virus itself. This discovery could inform the development of future ...

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 ...
