Bacteriophages (or phages) are viruses that infect and parasitize bacteria. These phages can transfer DNA from one bacterium to another, through a process known as genetic transduction. This is ...

Transduction is the biological process by which DNA is transferred into a cell with the aid of a viral vector. This may take place naturally between bacterium via a bacteriophage in an example of ...

Regulatory T cells (Treg cells), a specialized type of immune cell, are usually seen as "peacekeepers" that prevent excessive ...

For the first time in 60 years, researchers have discovered a new mechanism of genetic transduction, the process by which bacteriophages transfer bacterial DNA between bacteria. This new mechanism ...
