New preprint on flavivirus-host interactions with friend and collaborator Armando who spent a couple of months visiting the lab to do the interactomics with us.
Another new preprint! This time looking at flavivirus NS5 interactions with our collaborator Armando Arias - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Mitophagy-related prohibitin 2 is an orthoflavivirus restriction factor targeted for degradation during infection
Mitophagy selectively removes depolarised and damaged mitochondria, promoting cell viability. Some members of the Orthoflavivirus genus activate mitophagy to allow extended replication times in a surv...

I see @lancetmicrobe.bsky.social from the lancet group published a study yesterday under pilot study ethics. This is great.
What is concerning is that a competing study was rejected a month ago from @ebiomedicine.bsky.social, AFTER PASSING PEER REV, as pilot study ethics insufficient. What changed?
