Last week, our team around @gregorbond.bsky.social from @meduniwien.ac.at took part in the "Kinderuni Wien" - Vienna’s Children’s University - to bring science to life for curious kids aged 7 to 12, where the kids learnt that some viruses like TTV can also be superheroes. #TTVguide

🗞️ New paper out: Detection of non-intact Torque Teno viral particles. Partners in Italy have analysed the added value of PMAxx™ treatment to detect non-intact Torque Teno viral particles which may overestimate viremia quantified by digital droplet PCR. #TTV #TTVguide www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26...

📢 Partners from @chugrenoblealpes.bsky.social showed that TTV DNA load was slightly higher in whole blood (WB) than in plasma. Overall TTV detection was similar and distribution of TTV DNA loads did not differ. Read the full paper here: www.kireports.org/article/S246... #TTVguide
