As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Research revealed how bacteriophages use a tiny piece of genetic material to hijack bacterial cells and make more copies of themselves.

Using drugs that inhibit enzymes called CDK4/6 and CDK2 extends the G1 phase of the cell cycle and helps to slow the growth of drug-resistant breast cancer.

UC San Diego researchers uncover enzyme behind cancer genome chaos, pointing to potential therapies for aggressive tumors.

DNA is known to keep its form for centuries, and the researchers found that their tape could store data for more than 345 years at room temperature, or about 20,000 years at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 ...
