New paper out! How can we force HIV genomes out of their capsid shells and what can we learn about HIV biology doing so? Hint: capsid inhibitors actively re-route nuclear HIV complexes, and expose genomes via intriguing structural effects! open access: link.springer.com/article/10.1... read below

Lenacapavir-induced capsid damage uncovers HIV-1 genomes emanating from nuclear speckles - The EMBO Journal
Following cell entry, HIV-1 capsids enter the nucleus by passage through nuclear pores and reach nuclear speckles with subsequent uncoating of the reverse-transcribed genome and its integration into s...

Excited to share our latest publication! We show that hypoxia suppresses interferon responses to rotavirus, resulting in increased viral burden in vitro. Congratulations to @sorinjacobs.bsky.social and all co-authors for this great work! @meganstanifer.bsky.social @boulantlab.bsky.social

Hypoxia increases susceptibility of human intestinal epithelial cells to rotavirus infection through repression of interferon induction
Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) serve as both a physical barrier and a source of robust antiviral interferon (IFN) response. As such, they constitute the primary barrier that enteric viruses, su...

Happy to finally see this study published, a great collaboration between academic, government and industry labs! We show that CCHFV GP38 can induce vascular leak and that this can be prevented by protective but not virus-neutralizing antibodies! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Have you ever wondered how knocking out every single gene in the human genome, one by one, might affect your intracellular pathogen of interest? We did, & boy was it a wild ride! Happy to share our preprint discovering the essential host genome for Cryptosporidium - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Schematic showing the experimental outline for a full genome arrayed CRISPR screen. 384-well plates containing cells with an arrayed crRNA library are infected with Cryptosporidium parasites, which undergo asexual rounds of replication intracellularly, followed by sexual development to male and female forms. Plates are then fixed and immunolabeled to detect all parasites, female parasites, host actin recruited to parasite vacuoles, and host nuclei. Three z-stacks were imaged by high content microscopy to detect apically located parasites as well as host cell actin and nuclei.
