Thrilled to share our study @NatureComm, in collaboration with Denis Kuntjak, on the conservation of the molecular interface between plant and viruses!, we contribute the first comparative study including the non-vascular plant Marchantia polymorpha www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The point of vaccination is that everyone is immunized giving little room for mutations to arise. The personal decition os far from benefitting anything but that vaccines won't work...you can try to see the bright side, but there is none

Pervasive splicing in a plant DNA virus
Viruses maximize their limited coding space through strategies that increase transcript and protein diversity. In mammalian viruses, splicing is a well-established mechanism for proteome expansion, ye...

I was very lucky to have the chance to organize what it turned to be a fantastic workshop last ICAR2025 with @tatsuyanobori.bsky.social and two talented ECRs, Katarina and Hantao, including very exciting talks. You can find a nice summary of what happened in this blogspot!
