A study in Nature Communications shows that Zika virus NS1 induces tunneling nanotubes in placental cells, which facilitate viral spread and transport of mitochondria in placental cells. The findings could be used to develop therapeutic strategies targeted against this transmission mode. 🧪
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 NS1 mutant ZIKV not inducing TNTs results in a higher interferon response than wild-type ZIKV infection.

This is a remarkable display of political illiteracy by NYT columnists who say that the DEI crackdown is both positive and not very important, while the gutting of USAID is negative and important.
But it’s DEI that was used as the justification for dismantling USAID and most other DOGE cuts

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."
