Just published in @NatureComms!
We show that Usutu virus is the only mosquito-borne flavivirus to resist ISG20-mediated inhibition, thanks to a unique domain in its 3'UTR that protects its genome from degradation.
A project led by @JimZPhD at @IRIM_life.

🧵3/9 @EmmaPartiot et son dir. de recherche Raphaël Gaudon présentent leurs travaux « COVID-19 : un virus bien caché, mais bien présent ! »
😷 Ils révèlent comment le SARS-CoV-2 cible les synapses neuronales causant des troubles neurologiques, et comment restaurer leur activité.
🧵 1/9 Aujourd'hui, dans la grande salle des séances de l'@InstitutFrance, l'Académie des sciences remet les prix « Les grandes avancées françaises en biologie » à six jeunes scientifiques pour leurs découvertes majeures. Découvrez leurs travaux primés 👇
@CFATG is thrilled to announce that @PradelBap is the recipient of the 2024 Beth Levine PhD award for his discovery of the role of #Atg8ylation in the entry of HIV-1 in CD4+ lymphocytes. This study was performed in team @EspertLucile@IRIM_life
Congratulations !
🏆 Retour sur les prix de thèse des #JFV2024 : Dans la catégorie des « Virus Émergents », Antoine Rebendenne @Ant_Rebendenne et Emma Partiot @EmmaPartiot ont été honorés pour leurs travaux ! Bravo à eux ! #Virologie

Happy to share with you my PhD paper highlighting the role of LC3B on HIV-1 entry ! Very thankful to @EspertLucile for those 4 fantastic years in @IRIM_life !!
Huge thanks to all the people involved in this work and to the funders !
Definitely something to celebrate 🎉🎉
More evidence of direct #SARSCoV2 brain invasion points out that the neurological, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms associated with COVID-19 might not only be driven by circulating inflammatory cytokines and indirect neuroinflammation.
@Gaudinlab just published a study examining human brain samples from individuals with COVID-19, cerebral organoids, and organotypic culture of human brain explants.
Their results are similar to what I also observed in the monkey brain:
The primary neural target of SARS-CoV-2 is mostly found to be neuronal, although other neural cell types have been reported to show some degree of permissivenes."
This is why SARS-CoV-2 will never be like the Flu. Show me an influenza strain that directly infects neurons in the primate brain.
Happy to share with you the (very first) preprint of our latest work on the ever-surprising Coxiella and its crazy effector proteins! 4 VERY dense figures sum up the relentless work of @ArtBienvenu, @melanie_burette, @emartinez_irim and great collabs (@sdgilk & @VirAssemblyLab)
If you have any burning questions about #extracellularvesicles and how best to characterise/analyse them, then tune in to this talk and follow @SNEVresearch to hear more in the future!
