In my first Drosophila study at @salehlabparis.bsky.social, we found that: 1. Enteric viral infections accelerate aging. 2. Even if the infection is cleared, aging process remains triggered. 3. Accelerated aging correlates with reduced lifespan. 📑Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The microbiome microbioming. We studied viral infections in nematodes (Caenorhabditis elegans) that were in association with bacteria from their natural habitat When associated with most of the bacteria, the animals are resistant to viral infections #MicroSky #VirEvol dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...
