Scientists have used viruses to help create thin-film biomaterials, which may someday have...

is one of those mysteries of nature - how can the end of biological substances in many different types of materials? An example of this is collagen, a fibrous protein that can be done in parts of the body tissues, cartilage, cornea, bones and skin. In an effort to better understand the process, scientists at the University of California at Berkeley decided to see if they could manipulate other building blocks of biological forms in different materials. They succeeded, the use of viruses known as the M13 phage. .. Continue reading Scientists virus to help build bio
