No fruit bats are not magic animals that do not suffer disease consequences of bacterial and viral infections (pathology studies like these are very painstaking to perform) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I couldn't have ended the year with a better gift than to be able to broadly share the main story of my PhD work, recently published in @PNASNews. We found that #PCF11 associates with #WDR82 to silence HIV-1 in latently infected cells. Full article ➡️ doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2313356…

Mucosal antibodies in people with infection, not in vaccinated-only individuals. This is a correlate of protection from infection, although not fully validated thelancet.com/journals/ebiom… Great work, based on paired nasal and blood sampling

Great talk by Hanna-Mari @Baldauf_Lab comparing antiviral activity of Guanyl-binding proteins of 🧒🐭 🐰! GBP2 & GBP5 are some of my fave restriction factors bc both are activated by retroviral LTRs as @SmithaBadarina2 showed nicely before #RetroPath academic.oup.com/nar/article…

My family had to move 4 times in and outside of Gaza City after Israel destroyed their house and they ran out of water . They are now being carpet bombed in Rafah-the very area they were told was safe. When will this end?

Why HIV-2 infection reduces HIV-1 pathogenesis in dual-infected patients? HIV-2 blocks HIV-1 through a) an interferon response; b) an HIV1-specific block conferred by HIV-2 TAR, suppressing HIV-1 transcription by stalling RNApol II at the promoter journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
