New preprint from the lab! We developed a new tool to identify prokaryotic species (down to the strain level) directly from mass spectrometry-based bottom up proteomics data. #teammassspec #microsky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We found a viral Trojan Horse: a virus can hide inside another virus.This one surprised us: deltaviruses don’t just borrow a helper virus. They can travel inside it. A literal Trojan Horse “virus-in-a-virus” route into cells. 🤯 Kudos to 1st author @viroscope.bsky.social and co-authors !

Mosquitoes like Aedes aegypti spread viruses that cause major global diseases. We decided to have a closer look at a family of mosquito carbohydrate-binding proteins involved in infecting these vector species. We found some unexpected things 😁 Preprint out now 🦟🦟🦟 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Now out in Nature! We visualize infection of the RNA virus RSV in real-time with single-vRNP resolution to understand how RSV establishes viral factories, biomolecular condensates that act as sites of viral replication. A huge collaborative effort led by Dhanushika Ratnayake! rdcu.be/e1bBW

Our paper is finally out! I’m proud to share this collaborative work using FIB milling and cryo-electron tomography to study tick-borne flavivirus replication. Thanks to all co-authors and collaborators — great teamwork #CryoET #ElectronTomography #Virology #Flavivirus #Microscopy #StructuralBiology

I am super happy to share this paper in its final form. We used FIB milling to "dig in to" cell lines and mouse brains infected with tick-borne flaviviruses, followed by cryo-ET to study the virus replication. It's open access, so have a look! #virology #teamtomo www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New preprint from the lab is out! 🥳 We systematically profiled all pairwise growth interactions between 36 representative human gut microbiome strains, and delved deeper into the molecular mechanisms behind specific growth interactions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 👇

Open and closed forms of assembled henipavirus nucleoprotein suggest structural basis of genome access www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.02.686081v1 #cryoem

Very happy to share our work on the Langya henipavirus nucleoprotein with everyone! 🥳 Check out the preprint to find more about how a serendipitous finding led us to this amazing story!

Repost appreciated: Open #PhDposition in structural virology in my group! Join us in Umeå, Sweden to uncover how arboviruses remodel infected cells. In situ #cryoET and #cryoEM combined with #virology, #cellbiology, and #biophysics. Deadline 7 September. More info: www.carlsonlab.se/join/

Very grateful for the support from Pandemifonden and it was a pleasure to share a bit of what our team has been up to 😊 (In Swedish) www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

My PhD student @rupeshjayachandran.bsky.social wrote a comment piece on recent #nipah virus #polymerase structures, especially the one reported by @salafernanda.bsky.social from the lab of @haukehillen.bsky.social Please check it out 😊 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to share our new @science.org paper! Led by postdocs Ruchao Peng and Xin Xu, we used cryo-EM/ET to reveal the influenza ribonucleoprotein complex structure and its strand-sliding mechanism for RNA synthesis, paving the way for new antivirals. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
