So happy to see this in print! Led by the brilliant (almost Dr.) @castellosanjuan.bsky.social, with the amazing guidance of @rubengonzalez.bsky.social & @jarednigg.bsky.social.
We used to think persistent infections were harmless… but our latest work shows otherwise. Read it to learn more!
Persistent viral #infections in #insects are not as harmless as once believed. @salehlabparis.bsky.social &co show how such infections in #FruitFlies alter survival, reproduction, behavior & gene expression, revealing the hidden costs of #viral persistence @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4olpuXm

Here we go again!!! Thanks to @rubengonzalez.bsky.social a brilliant postdoc in the lab, I made my first baby steps into the aging field... Be kind and supportive 😀 I find the results totally exciting! and so much to do now! #ProudPI #LoveVirology
In my first Drosophila study at @salehlabparis.bsky.social, we found that:

1. Enteric viral infections accelerate aging.
2. Even if the infection is cleared, aging process remains triggered.
3. Accelerated aging correlates with reduced lifespan.

Thrilled to share our new preprint @biorxivpreprint!! In this work we investigated how host-virus interactions influence intestinal homeostasis, cellular turnover, and longevity in Drosophila. Follow along to learn about what we found! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵🪰 1/11
Viral infection disrupts intestinal homeostasis via Sting-dependent NF-kB signaling
