An especially groundbreaking article by [V.A.] Fischetti describes the use of specific phage lysozymes in the control of infections by bacteria such as Bacillus anthracis and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Jan 27, 2014 - Sequencing the genome allowed researchers to identify the gene for lysin, an enzyme that the virus uses to kill bacterial cells, that has potential use as an antibiotic or disinfecting agent. Groth AC, Calos MP: Phage integrases: biology and applications. Sep 23, 2013 - According to Forest Rohwer of San Diego State University and science writer Merry Youle, bacteriophages are the dark matter of the biological universe—vital elements that don't seem to behave the way other things do. That achievement says a lot about how far the science of synthetic biology has come — and a lot about where Autodesk is going. This construct will be of direct use for various synthetic biology applications. €�It will have a role for certain viruses. Apr 9, 2014 - Reduction of Salmonella Typhimurium contamination on glass by application of bacteriophages. Jun 24, 2013 - “This discovery not only proposes a new immune system but also demonstrates the first symbiotic relationship between phage and animals,” says Jeremy Barr, lead author of “Bacteriophage adhering to mucus provide a non-host-derived immunity” published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. May 5, 2014 - Autodesk is creating design tools and standards for synthetic biology and nanotech. Apr 21, 2014 - This means that a wider application of phage therapy could lead to substantial savings in healthcare costs and make antibacterial therapy accessible to those who otherwise cannot afford treatment [23]. It likewise holds much promise for the discovery of future practical medical, biological, and ecological applications. Second Place – Adam Riley & Jordan Lowry (Mentor: Curtis Creighton). Jan 3, 2013 - Members of this subfamily often function as phage integrases but also mediate transposition and regulate terminal differentiation processes in eubacteria. Larval immunity in burying beetle N. We further show that it enables the gradual and independent induction of both AraC and LacI in a simultaneous manner. Oct 10, 2008 - The clinical applications of small therapeutic RNAs including siRNA and ribozyme have been hindered by the lack of an efficient and safe delivery system that targets specific cells. A little more than two weeks and about $1,000. Nov 15, 1997 - However, there was generally little interaction between those who were so effectively using phage as tools to understand molecular biology and those still working on phage ecology and therapeutic applications.
