Congratulations to @rafaelmichita.bsky.social on a fantastic talk on the role of TNTs in vertical transmission of ZIKV. Some exciting new rodent data showing in vivo significance! @mysorekarlab.bsky.social @bcmfromthelabs.bsky.social #ASRI2025

Zika virus NS1 drives tunneling nanotube formation for mitochondrial transfer and stealth transmission in trophoblasts - Nature Communications
Michita et al. show that Zika virus (ZIKV) NS1 induces tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) in placental cells, which facilitate viral spread and transport of mitochondria in placental cells. Infection with a N...
