Our work on cellular RNA interactions with MAVS that promote antiviral signaling is finally live. So grateful to our indispensable collaborators as well as reviewers who helped to strengthen our work. #RNA #innateimmunity #virology @ramlabuw.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Cellular RNA interacts with MAVS to promote antiviral signaling
Antiviral signaling downstream of RIG-I–like receptors (RLRs) proceeds through a multi-protein complex organized around the adaptor protein mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS). Protein co...

I’m proud to join more than 30 colleagues today in sharing our analysis of potential risks from “mirror life”. We summarize our findings in a @science.org article, and in greater detail in a 300pg technical report: Article: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Report: purl.stanford.edu/cv716pj4036

CANADIAN Version of this series would have been boring. Man gets cancer... Man goes to Dr. because they have universal healthcare. The End.

Receptor switching is one of the key steps in adaptation of animal influenza viruses to humans. Studies shows that is requires only a single mutation to do that. The widespread circulation of AI in cattle is playing with fire. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A single mutation in bovine influenza H5N1 hemagglutinin switches specificity to human receptors
In 2024, several human infections with highly pathogenic clade 2.3.4.4b bovine influenza H5N1 viruses in the United States raised concerns about their capability for bovine-to-human or even human-to-h...

It's kinda a slap in the face when we're told that some people might be uncomfortable if we're bringing our same sex spouse to a departmental holiday party. DEI is merely just a slogan, I guess

Viruses use RNA decoys to thwart CRISPR defences
Bacteria and archaea are microorganisms that often use RNA-guided defences called CRISPR to destroy the genomes of viruses that infect them. It now emerges that viruses make RNAs that act as mimics to...

Getting around to this paper in Journal of Virology and its a banger. Prenatal exposure to RSV season in the *third trimester* significantly reduces a child's risk of RSV-LRI in first year. And it seems to be a fetal IFN response, not maternal antibodies. ViroSky ☣️ journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Our study found that duration of third trimester exposure to RSV season related inversely to subsequent risk of postnatal RSV-LRI in the first year, thus implicating this exposure as an important fact...

"Ma! Your son's gonna present here!" Just kidding. She doesn't even understand what I'm doing here. Some kind of teaching, she thought. Really honored for my work to be chosen among other presenters from the top universities. Find out here for more info voices.uchicago.edu/bsddiversity...

Interesting article about assembly theory. Some people already digging into this while the others convinced that the emergency alert will turn COVID vaccine recipient into a zombie www.nature.com/articles/s41...
