This year’s annual MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships call has attracted considerable interest from the research community with 17,058 proposals submitted.

Author summary Host recognition of viral nucleic acids is fundamental for stimulating antiviral immunity. To prevent aberrant immune activation, cells must precisely differentiate “non-self” from “sel...

Salivary virome profiling revealed distinct virome profiles in Sjögren’s disease and a role for Vientovirus in triggering autoimmunity through molecular mimicry.

Nature Communications - Costa-Verdera et. al describe a mechanism by which AAV vector genomes activate P53-mediated signalling in CNS cells involving downstream STING activation and...

In a context where some scientists in the United States may feel threatened or hindered in their research, our university is announcing the launch of the Safe Place For Science program, dedicated to w...

We are delighted to invite scientists, students, and colleagues with an interest in Virology to participate in the upcoming International Symposium on Single-Stranded DNA Viruses (IS3DV), which will take place at the Varadero Resort, Cuba, from June 8 to 13, 2025. The primary objective of this symposium is to foster the exchange of ideas and expertise on ssDNA viruses across diverse host organisms, while promoting collaborations that can drive innovative approaches and advance our understanding of these fascinating viruses. Over the course of the five-day symposium, attendees will have the opportunity to network with peers and engage with leading experts from the global academic and research community. This event promises to be an enriching experience, combining stimulating scientific discussions with the unique charm of Varadero’s coastal environment, offering inspiration, excitement and relaxation all together.
