🧵 1/ What if MAVS was more than just an interferon switch?

Our new @biorxivpreprint reveals MAVS as a mitochondrial guardian, suppressing SARS-CoV-2 by blocking mitophagy—even without IFNs.

Here’s what we found 👇

6/ TL;DR
MAVS is not just a signaling adaptor.
It's a mitochondrial sentinel.
And in CoV-2 infection, it fights back without needing IFNs.

@urbansketchers thank you for this wonderful sketch of our lab. It's so chaotic and organized and the same time, a beautiful mess!
It's the little things which makes
you appreciate what you do. ♥️♥️

The more microscopic you go, the more you get fascinated about the complexities of the universe. Afterall, everyone is made up of Stardust 💫
One of the few good days in microscopy 😅

@maruthi_hcu @AcademicChatter Sure. Although cannot cook better than DG. @DivyaaGupta7 😅

Still remember the times when I started working on SARS-CoV-2.. how my perspective of pandemic was as compared to my family, relatives and friends. Do give it a read, it's a short intro about how complex our body is and how it fights viruses!

Since COVID-19, advice on immunity are all around us. But we really need to still understand how immunity and infections work against each other. Here's a close account of @acurious_one donning the hat of a virus researcher and a scicommer on COVID-19.

Today, it is not necessary to state why it is important to study viruses more for most of us. However, studying them requires many sophisticated facilities to grow them. Check out how Krishnan's lab studies dengue virus to coronavirus.
