What else is inside an HIV-1 particle besides viral RNA and proteins? Led by @ManuelGM87ivRIC, we revealed 104 host #RBPs bound to HIV genome in virions and found PURA as a reverse transcription helper. #HIV #Virology #RNA #HostPathogenInteraction.

For years I’ve been skeptical of assertions of any particular SARS-CoV-2 lineage having a significantly different phenotype than any other, but this case seems to be extremely clear.

This study is a great one on N*, the novel protein SARS-CoV-2 evolved early in the pandemic.

I plundered this paper when it came out in preprint form for the N* thread I made back in the XEC days.

Great to see it officially published.

2026 has just begun and we are looking forward to welcoming you to EMBL for another year of groundbreaking science.

Our programme now features even more events, check it out ➡️ https://t.co/6UEBlAc3rI

[Stern-Ginossar lab @SGinossarLab]

Our new paper is out @Nature 🎉. We show that m1Ψ in mRNA vaccines doesn’t just quiet immunity, it also directly enhance translation by reshaping ribosome dynamics in a sequence-dependent way 🧬
