Wow - such an honor to have @profvrr and the TWiV crew discuss our recent @ScienceAdvances paper by @bestofneither this week! Great choice of art for this episode too. #rotavirus #NSP4 causes such great #calciumsignaling and calcium waves, I tattooed it on my arm!

TWiV notes the HHS communication pause, describes research showing that rotavirus viroporin activity is necessary for intracellular calcium signals that contribute to viral pathogenesis, & more! πŸ“Ί bit.ly/3WJVF7l

How it started and how it’s going. The Great Wave in homage to @Alexicon_CG discovering #rotavirus #calcium waves Admittedly one of the strangest incentives system. But it makes for great tattoo art. That to @JeremyRedhawk for the beautiful work on my science sleeve.

I haven’t done any electrophysiology on rotavirus NSP4 in several years…nice to know that I still got it. #viroporin #calciumsignaling #ephys #ionchannels

A GFP doughnut? 🍩 Nope! It is a #rotavirus viroplasm-associated membrane labeled with the GCaMP8s #calciumsignaling sensor. There are NSP4 #viroporins in them there membranes! And I think there are some small Ca2 fluxes detected.
