Ruby Lin (Westmead Institute for Medical Research) and colleagues published a new paper in Current Opinion in Biotechnology detailing their vision for a nationally-networked approach to personalized phage therapy in Australia, based around

Anushila Chatterjee (University of Colorado School of Medicine) and colleagues published a new paper in PLOS Genetics showing phage infection and sub-lethal antibiotic exposure mediate Enterococcus faecalis type VII secretion system depende

Animals in the wild have learned to live with 'their' viruses, but humans are still learning. Harald Brussow (KU Leuven) has described in a new 'crystal ball' article how phages have dominated all natural habitats, and has provided a unique

Fernando Gordillo Altamirano and Jeremy Barr (Monash University) published a new perspective in Current Opinion in Biotechnology entitled "Unlocking the next generation of phage therapy: the key is in the receptors". They argue that identif

Do you consider a virus-like particle (VLP) to be a particle that looks like a virus, or is it a virus specifically lacking a viral genome? Different fields (e.g. ecology vs. vaccine development) use the term differently. Paul Hyman, Gary T

Eveline-Marie Lammens (KU Leuven) and colleagues published a new perspective in Nature Communications that explores the synthetic biology potential of phages for engineering non-model bacteria.

Gabriella (Ella) Balasa, a cystic fibrosis (CF) patient who has received phage therapy, and her physician, Nauman Chaudary, have co-authored a unique perspective paper in Pulmonary Therapy about the experience and treatment of a CF patient.

Alan Fauconnier (Culture In Vivo ASBL) and colleagues at Phages for Global Health and the Queen Astrid Military Hospital published a new perspective in Frontiers in Microbiology on the role the WHO could play in implementing phage therapy,

Andrzej Górski (Polish Academy of Sciences) and colleagues published a new perspective in Future Medicine discussing phages in the fight against COVID-19. They describe research done in the last 15 years pointing to phage interference with

Jean-Paul Pirnay (Queen Astrid Military Hospital, Belgium) lays out a vision for what personalized phage therapy might look like in the year 2035. His vision coincidentally also happens to lay out much of Phage Directory’s own roadmap!

Phages went to space, and now they're back! In a blog post, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Rhodium Scientific describe their study of phage-host interactions and evolution in microgravity (using the spaceflight env

Are there really 10^31 viral particles on Earth? Here's a new minireview by A. R. Mushegian (National Science Foundation) on how that number ("The Hendrix Product") was derived, and whether it needs to be revised.
