LINE-1 is associated with disease and aging. The Rout Lab has uncloaked the core of its key protein, pointing the way towards therapeutic targets. #RockefellerScience rockefeller.edu/news/35133-rev…

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/articl…

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.

The HUSH complex guards vertebrate genomes from retroelements. Our new structural/biochemical study on MPP8 reveals the interaction interface with TASOR required for HUSH assembly & suggests links between HUSH & SUMO doi.org/10.1101/2023.1… Danya Prigozhin Cambridge Department of Medicine MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology

How big is Africa, in reality.

“Transposable elements contribute to nearly 80% of human-specific candidate cis-regulatory elements in cortical cells” 🧠 …🤯 literally! Amazing dataset 🔥 Congrats to all involved!

“….in biomedical science, there is an increasing tendency to equate significance to any form of medical relevance.”
- this guy is 100% correct.

🔔'Tis the season...to apply for a new job?! My group Cambridge Department of Medicine is recruiting for 2 posts:

Postdoc: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/44181/
Research assistant: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/44250/

Both roles will seek to improve our understanding of coronavirus cross-species transmission. #preparedness

🔥🔥How does the LINE-1 retrotransposon jump around in the human genome? Super excited to present my postdoctoral work answering this published today nature
together with twitterless Kathy Collins's lab and The Nogales Lab UC Berkeley

A 🧵

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

Very excited by our results nature showing that IL4R signaling is strongly enriched in myeloid cells that infiltrate mice and lung cancer lesions nature.com/articles/s4158…

YES! 💯Thanks Massimo and all who helped organize #RetroPath . What a blast it was! A few intense days of amazing 🦠 science in a stunning spot. I’ve learned a ton and made a bunch of new friends! 🥰

A big thanks to our fabulous host Massimo Pizzato of Università di Trento for hosting this year's #RetroPath meeting, it was fabulous!

New day, new sessions International Workshop on Retroviral Pathogenesis MUSE_Museum

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 Smitha Srinivasachar Badarinarayan showed nicely before
