Saying good luck to all the new residents starting this week, especially our recent Meharry graduates! You’re beginning an exciting, challenging, and deeply meaningful chapter in your medical journey. Residency will test you, but Meharry has prepared you.

A new collaborative study from a team led by Tiffany Caza, M.D., renal pathologist at @arkanalabs, and Dorin Bogdan Borza, Ph.D., an Associate Professor at @MeharryMedical, has been published in @Kidney_Int, the leading journal in kidney research. home.mmc.edu/mmcsom-profess…

Mature #HIV-1 contains >2000 copies of “spacer peptide 2”, but we didn’t know why. We now see that SP2 binds the matrix protein and triggers the change into its mature arrangement. Summary video from @MargotRiggi :

This is hilarious.

@PaulBieniasz Love it.

Hope @elonmusk and @JDVance seriously consider Timothy Carney's (from Washington Examiner) wonderful suggestion. Forget ‘return to office,’ Mr. President. That’s no way to fix a baby bust. wapo.st/3F033Wj

@Cornymel Congratulations.

Our paper about RanBP2 and Mx2 and how they affect HIV-1 infection is finally out! We started this project shortly before the lab shut down for the pandemic in 2020, and it feels great to have a finished story to share. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

We are excited to announce that our “Enhancing Virology Training (ENVIT) through Summer Research” Program is open to applicants for the summer of 2025. Participants must be currently enrolled in medical school, dental school, or a PhD graduate program. 1/n #1496820366480-25d43a41-cf0c5308-7432" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">home.mmc.edu/school-of-medi…

Proud to be a Meharrian.

This study is exciting as it provides evidence for a direct and functional role of Cyclophilin A in HIV-1 integration, a previously unknown role of this host factor in the nucleus of an infected cell.

Check out our latest paper entitled "Cyclophilin A Facilitates HIV-1 Integration." published in the Journal of Virology @ASMicrobiology. journals.asm.org/doi/epdf/10.11…
