Ever wondered how fever helps fight flu? Our research shows that fever-like temperature tip the scales in the battle between the influenza virus and the immune system by enhancing antiviral responses and altering viral RNA dynamics. Check out the full article here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Congratulations to @karishmabisht.bsky.social with her paper on the effect of fever on influenza replication and innate immune activation! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A wonderfully engaging essay on my favorite model bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa - a genuinely compelling and highly recommended read from quorum‑sensing legend Prof. E. P. Greenberg. #biofilms #sociomicrobiology journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Now out in Science Advances: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Excited to share our latest preprint in which we integrate mathematical modeling with experimental approaches to investigate how ⬆️ temperature influences aberrant RNA synthesis and innate immunity in flu infection 🦠

Our new paper is out: "Mapping the complete influenza A virus infection cycle through single vRNP imaging". Combining newly-developed single-molecule imaging approaches with in situ viral transcriptomics, we identify numerous non-canonical infection pathways. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share this new preprint showing that non-canonical influenza virus transcripts are produced in a sequence/RNA structure-dependent manner on aberrant RNAs: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
