It's out! 🎉 Excited to share our latest paper in @plos.org Pathogens! We set out to understand the role of #StressGranules in the #antiviral response against #RNAviruses, using #FMDV as our model. Here's what we found: dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

The assembly of stress granules during foot-and-mouth disease virus infection is uncoupled from activation of cellular intrinsic antiviral signalling

Author summary Biomolecular condensates, including stress granules, are key regulatory compartments that control fundamental cellular processes. By condensing RNAs and proteins, these structures enabl...

🎉 And we’re off: #EMBLRBP has officially begun! Scientific organiser Matthias Hentze set the stage for an incredible few days ahead. Kicking things off in the best way possible, Elena Conti and Anthony Hyman delivered two fantastic keynote lectures! 🤩

My replies are perpetually full of anti-vaxxers these days telling me about polio vaccines. Not shockingly, most of what they are saying is wrong. Luckily, I trained with Vincent Racaniello & he taught me a few things about poliovirus. So let’s discuss the king of the Picornaviridae👇🏻

We're delighted to be a part of two major Doctoral Landscape Awards funded by the UKRI BBSRC and NERC. These initiatives will train the next generation of scientists across critical areas of interdisciplinary research in life and environmental sciences ⬇️ www.pirbright.ac.uk/news/doctora...
