I was interviewed on a podcast, Virology Unmasked, https://virologyunmasked.com/michael-emerman/ with the title "Work on Important Things" which was a quote from my graduate school advisor, Howard Temin. The conversation was a nice retrospective of my career in virology and mentoring style.

Researchers evaluated two experimental Zika virus vaccines to understand the roles of antibodies and T cells, discovering that long-term viral protection requires a coordinated immune response from both components rather than relying on T cells alone.

God's favorite animal strikes back!

"A new genomic analysis of the mosquito, called Anopheles stephensi, using specimens collected from 10 countries, showed that those found in Africa had genetic resistance to all of the chemicals currently used in spraying campaigns and other mosquito-control efforts, meaning those insecticides will not kill it."

#ThrowbackThursday 2022.
I miss Dad very much 😢 ❤️ He's been gone for over 2 years now.
I remember this day well. It was an excellent family bonding day. We had a nice dinner after a short walk together. 3 months after this photo was taken, Dad had to go to ER for a leg muscles issue. He was infected with covid by unmasked hospital staff. It happened shortly after our eugenics government removed public masking mandates. Dad ended up dying from covid related cardiac arrest, the following Summer.

I have never forgiven the #BCgovernment or #unmasked #hospital staff for killing my Dad. We had him fully protected with home #caregiving for years. It took less than 2 days in hospital for him to get #covid.

Please #WearAMask. Please don't let my Dad & others who died from getting covid from unmasked people, to be forgotten. It could be you or your family members, next. Covid doesn't care if you believe in it or not - it will end up wrecking your life, one way or another.

#Rotavirus causes severe #dehydrating #diarrhea in infants and young children, contributing to more than 128,500 deaths per year globally despite widespread vaccination efforts. Although rotavirus is more prevalent in developing countries, declining #vaccination uptake in the United States has resulted in increasing cases in recent years.

We're just migrated from another instance, so here is our (re)introduction:

Neurofrontiers is a bilingual blog about interesting neuroscience topics that tries to be accessible to the broader public while still maintaining scientific accuracy. It's run by a team of two people: a computational neuroscientist, and a graphic designer. We think that being on social media allows us to stay up-to-date with the most recent discussions in science and hope to be able to connect with like-minded individuals.

#LadyShambles’ take on the #MaeveInquest result, per her worthy comment to @DavidTuller1 & @ValeriEliotSmit’s overview & commentary:

1. M.E. Is a ‘physical’ (as opposed to psychological) disease;

2. M.E. can cause death;

'Distinct patterns emerge when comparing sustained and transient infections. Transiently infected participants have a robust type of antiviral defence response termed a type I interferon (IFN-I) response in the nasal mucosal tissue shortly after viral exposure (day 1 after infection), potentially contributing to viral removal. By contrast, participants who had sustained infection showed delayed (only starting on day 5 after infection) mucosal IFN-I responses, as well as delays in immune-cell infiltration into the nasopharynx, indicating an impaired innate antiviral response at the site of initial viral inoculation and replication.'

Now I cant stop singing "more than a spike gene" to the tune of the BeeGees (protein didnt fit the meter).

'We assessed the role of ORF6 during infection using recombinant viruses carrying a deletion or loss-of-function (LoF) mutation in ORF6. ORF6 plays key roles in interferon antagonism and viral pathogenesis by interfering with nuclear import and specifically the translocation of IRF and STAT transcription factors.'

'Therefore, to understand the influence of Wolbachia on within-host ZIKV evolution, we characterized the genetic diversity of molecularly barcoded ZIKV virus populations replicating in Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes and found that within-host ZIKV evolution was subject to weak purifying selection and, unexpectedly, loose anatomical bottlenecks in the presence and absence of Wolbachia'
