🚨 New preprint alert!! 🧠🦟🦠
What does West Nile virus actually do to a human neuron?
We built an hiPSC-neuron platform, mapped WNV infection by temporal proteomics + RNA-seq, and found LA24, a new strain that is attenuated in neurons.

Human iPSC-derived neurons identify West Nile virus neuropathogenesis signatures and reveal strain-dependent neuroattenuation
West Nile virus (WNV) is one of the leading causes of arthropod-transmitted encephalitis in the world, yet its effects on neurons, the principal target of WNV in the brain, remain poorly defined. Here...
