More exciting work from @wanyuviridae and the whole @abrahamlabhms squad! 😎
Excited to share our @biorxivpreprint led by @xiaoyi_fann and @wanyuviridae exploring how binding of western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) to its cellular receptors evolved over the past century 🤩 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @HarvardMicro

More cool news out of the @abrahamlabhms! Congrats to @wanyuviridae and the whole team for this exciting study out now @Nature! 😎🧪🦠
Excited to share our new study @nature led by @VirologyHarvard grad student Wanyu @wanyuviridae that explores shifted receptor usage by a unique “submerging” arbovirus, western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV).🤩 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

New work from the Knipe laboratory has found that the cellular protein Sp1 aids herpes simplex virus infection under adverse conditions. Studying how HSV uses cellular proteins during infection can help identify novel ways to treat or prevent infection: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
