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 🦠
Flu infection => temperature⬆️ => NP levels⬇️ => aberrant RNAs⬆️ => interferon⬆️. Elegant modeling and experimental work by @karishmabisht.bsky.social and @danielweilandt.bsky.social! Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

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.

Mapping the complete influenza A virus infection cycle through single vRNP imaging
Cell-to-cell heterogeneity is a common feature of viral infection that can generate enormous complexity, complicating understanding of infection progression and interpretation of differences between v...

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...
A two-step mechanism for RIG-I activation by influenza virus mini viral RNAs
Influenza A virus (IAV) non-canonical replication products can be bound by various host pathogen sensors, including retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I). However, it is not clear why non-canonical I...
