A glimpse behind the science 🔬 In a recent collaboration, @kathvoigt.bsky.social & @christian-7.bsky.social explored the interaction between #NipahVirus & its cellular receptor. These insights into virus-receptor interactions lay the groundwork for the next stage of virus-cell binding research.

Schleim ist eine wichtige Schutzschicht unseres Körpers. In unserem Podcast #InFact erklärt @christian-7.bsky.social, wie Schleim Schmutz, #Bakterien und #Viren heraus transportiert und es Krankheitserregern erschwert, überhaupt in unsere Zellen einzudringen. infacthzi.podigee.io/37-wie-schle...

Wenn Viren die Atemwege befallen, kommen sie zuerst mit Mukus in Kontakt.

Did you know that Influenza A viruses can infect the brain 🦠 -> 🧠 ? In collaboration with the group of Martin Korte, Nele Rieke studied the replication kinetics and tropism of neurotropic IAV strains in vitro. 👉 See the preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @helmholtzhzi.bsky.social

We've developed a single-molecule imaging approach to study how #influenza A viruses interact with live cells at the nanoscale. We found that cellular receptors show a specific organization and turnover at the virus-cell interface. 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41... @combinemarvproject.bsky.social
