Phages containing huge amounts of DNA are found around the globe
An inventory of over 350 DNA sequences from phage genomes revealed that these genomes can be over 200,000 base pairs in length and found the largest phage genome ever described at 735,000 base pairs in length. The report published in Nature on February 12, evaluated the prevalence, diversity and ecosystem distribution of phages with large genomes. Read More

T cells work as a team to fight infection
Immune cells may be better at sensing each other than previously thought, according to a new study published in Immunity on February 11. Researchers from Germany, the Netherlands, and the U.K. revealed a mechanism T cells use to work as a team and mutually determine how to fight infections. Read More

Could a plant virus help create a new MRI contrast agent?
What's old is new for University of Texas at Dallas researchers who are resurrecting an organic, biodegradable compound that someday might be the foundation for a nongadolinium-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent, according to a preclinical study published online on February 5 in Chemical Science.

3D model of human intestines helps simulate leaky gut condition
Researchers are using 3D models of human intestines to simulate leaky gut conditions -- in which microbes and molecules seep out of the intestines, eliciting an immune response. The research, published in Life Science Alliance on February 10, will help identify biomarkers for leaky gut for improved diagnostics and treatment development. Read More

Genomics sheds light on the life history of cancers
As part of a special collection of papers on pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes published online by Nature on February 6, an international group of scientists analyzed over 2,500 unique cancer genomes to shed light on the life history of cancer mutations and how cancer tumors evolve -- even before they are diagnosed.

Hydrogels enable on-demand production of pharmaceuticals
A first-in-class system that effectively embeds engineered microbes into the solid support of a 3D-printed hydrogel is described in a report published in Nature Communications on February 4. The hydrogel system organizes both individual microbes and groups of microbes for on-demand production of pharmaceuticals. Read More
