A nice fact-check of beliefs regarding vaccines spiegel.de/gesundheit/diagno…
Impfen: Das ist dran an den Anti-Impf-Gerüchten - der Faktencheck

Impfen: Das ist dran an den Anti-Impf-Gerüchten - der Faktencheck

Über kaum etwas wird so heftig und emotional gestritten wie übers Impfen. Doch welche Argumente der Gegner und Befürworter stimmen und welche nicht?

It’s finally out! This study reveals measles virus matrix protein forms lattice under the viral membrane instead of coating the helical RNP complex! This is team work from our group and I’m so glad to be part of it! #cryoEM #cryoET @NatureComms @erwright73 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

On this #WorldImmunisationWeek, I share my lecture slide #tellingitasitis on fraudulent retracted studies fueling anti-vaccine movement. Vaccines save millions of lives and billions of $. Spread knowledge not fear. #VaccinesWork

Check out this new article in eLife on within and between host evolution of influenza virus, from the @LauringLab : samples from 200 individuals, neutral evolution & drift, not too much positive selection at Ag sites, strong transmission bottlenecks! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.35962
Stochastic processes constrain the within and between host evolution of influenza virus

Stochastic processes constrain the within and between host evolution of influenza virus

An analysis of influenza viruses from naturally infected people suggests a tight transmission bottleneck and little positive selection within hosts.

In light of World Immunization Week 2018, which highlights the importance of high #vaccination coverage, @NatureComms is taking stock of current advances and barriers in vaccine development & distribution: go.nature.com/world-immun-wk Read the new editorial on how #VaccinesWork

Vaccines work

Nature Communications - Vaccination has successfully reduced the burden of infectious diseases worldwide, but stagnating immunization coverage and lack of effective vaccines for many endemic and...

In today’s example of how integrating viruses shape evolution: Two WO phage genes are responsible for Wolbachia CI, and one of them is also the antidote. @Symbionticism Nice! suggested also w/ yeast expression expts by Hochstrasser lab in nature.com/articles/nmicrobi… teapaw.org/harmitmalik/status/984…

Cool work by @symbionticism identifies the antidote gene encoded by Wolbachia to block CI and it turns out the be .... one of the toxin genes! A two by one model biorxiv.org/content/early/20…
