This study shows mammalian cells internalize bacteriophage T4, which enhances cellular growth and survival through AKT-dependent pathways and G1 phase prolongation without triggering inflammatory responses.

This study shows that bacteriophages adapt to the mammalian gut mucosa through mutations and recombination, gaining a fitness advantage by altering their binding to mucin glycans.

The paper shows that eukaryotic cells internalize phages, with smaller phages being taken up more efficiently, and demonstrates this impacts phage distribution and therapy efficacy.

This study identifies phages targeting Acinetobacter baumannii capsule that induce antimicrobial resensitization by disrupting capsule biosynthesis and enhancing susceptibility to antibiotics and the immune system.
