In flies and worms, more pathogenic viruses caused greater aging acceleration, and the effect lingered even after clearance, new study reveals. #Aging #Infection #MicroSky #Virology 📖 shorturl.at/OeYVp ✍️ @rubengonzalez.bsky.social @castellosanjuan.bsky.social @salehlabparis.bsky.social @pasteur.fr

What a day! Another one flies the nest with a brilliant PhD defense. Congratulations Doctor @castellosanjuan.bsky.social ! I am so proud of you!!! #PILife #ProudMentor #PhD

Ha passat un any. Temps insuficient per a un dol tan gran. Hui és dia de fer memòria pels que ja no estan i de cuidar a totes les víctimes. Però cal recordar que s'ha de continuar lluitant, perquè encara no s'han atés les nostres demandes: VERITAT. JUSTÍCIA. REPARACIÓ.

I'm so excited to share this with all of you! This is the very first paper where I am the first author 🥹 Let me share some insights about our work 👇🧵(1/5): How do persistent viral infections impact the host? What happens when a fly becomes persistently infected by a virus?

Persistent viral #infections in #insects are not as harmless as once believed. @salehlabparis.bsky.social &co show how such infections in #FruitFlies alter survival, reproduction, behavior & gene expression, revealing the hidden costs of #viral persistence @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4olpuXm
