New research by @DanaFarber’s Amy Lee, PhD, and Max Fels, PhD, published in @CELL reveals that giant DNA viruses encode a distinct and functional IF4F translation-initiation complex to drive protein synthesis, thereby blurring the line between living cells and viruses. Read more: bit.ly/4rS3Uew

Thank you so much for the scholarship and an amazing meeting! I learned so much!

🧵1/5 I'm so proud to share these incredible findings from our collaborative work with @amara_lab & @jreguera lab about Alphaviruses, particularly the chikungunya virus!! Highlights in the 🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s4146…

@wanyuviridae @abrahamlabhms @Nature @VirologyHarvard Congrats Wanyu and team!!!

Excited to share our new study @nature led by @VirologyHarvard grad student Wanyu @wanyuviridae that explores shifted receptor usage by a unique “submerging” arbovirus, western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV).🤩 nature.com/articles/s4158…

@RouskinLab Wow he’s wearing a tie and everything

Wesley is QUALIFIED to pipette towards a PhD for the next seven years. He didn’t look someone in the eye during a toast …

Human mRNAs form globules in 3D and are prepared for export by the transcription-export complex. We are excited to share this and more mechanistic insights in our newest work, co-lead by the fantastic @bpachecofiallos and @MVorlandr. rdcu.be/c9e0f (1/9)
