This past flu season was a deadly one for kids. The #CDC reported today that it has been informed of another 4 pediatric flu deaths, which takes the year's to-date total to 235. The only worse season on record was the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, which was really hard on kids.

Wab Kinew is a true leader.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Winnipeg police confirmed the identity of Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe to be Ashlee Shingoose.
Ashlee’s father Albert Shingoose had one request for Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew: sing a song.

Pre-print is up! SARS-2 produces a truncated N protein to antagonize multiple antiviral pathways. A very collaborative project in the @corcoranlab.bsky.social with @nogasharlin.bsky.social, Danyel Evseev, and Max Bui-Marinos, and of course the boss Jenn Corcoran

Our newest work reveals that SARS-CoV-2 evolved to produce a truncated version of its N protein to antagonize antiviral responses. This 'mini' N, called N*M210, sequesters dsRNA, blocks interferon activation, defeats RNaseL & disassembles stress granules and p-bodies. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
A truncated SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein enhances virus fitness by evading antiviral responses
Viruses face a selective pressure to evade cellular antiviral responses to control the outcome of an infection. However, due to their limited genome size, viruses must adopt unique strategies to confr...
