Our newest: Antiviral & inflammatory proteome is regulated by a logic timer imparted by #mitochondria activity...what if mitos. were not co-opted for energy but host defense?...implications for non-infectious diseases www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #viruses #evolution @biorxiv-immuno.bsky.social

Mitochondrial perturbation adapts the proteome from early to advanced immune responses
Dysregulated immunity, a hallmark of many human diseases, co-occurs with mitochondrial dysfunction and is commonly associated with misprimed primary immune signaling. While transcriptionally well-char...

Further reading to the great talk from @orchardlab.bsky.social just now at #GRCviruses Membrane asymmetry facilitates MNV entry and persistent infection @plosbiology.org #Virosky 🧪 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Membrane asymmetry facilitates murine norovirus entry and persistent enteric infection
Norovirus tropism depends partly on entry receptors, but the role of cellular lipids in viral entry remains unclear. This study shows that TMEM30a-mediated lipid asymmetry is crucial for murine norovi...

Excited to have this story published @plosbiology.org. We were surprised to find lipids are important for entry of a non-enveloped virus and that TMEM30a is important for enteric infection of murine norovirus!
