Pleased to share our latest in Cell showing SARS-CoV-2 uses airway cilia to cross the mucin barrier and microvilli for viral exit. Omicron variants bind cilia better! Great collaboration with Raul Andino (UCSF) & Nayak, Milla, Nolan labs (Stanford). doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2022.…

AddThis | Home Pleased to share our latest in Cell "A defective viral genome strategy elicits broad protective immunity against respiratory viruses", a new way to block SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses. Great collaboration with Raul Andino & Judith Frydman. authors.elsevier.com/c/1eA9e…

Excited by Amy McKeever’s article in National Geographic “COVID-19 linked to new diabetes cases—but long-term problems may be more severe”, covering our teams’ recent findings in Cell Metabolism “SARS-CoV-2 infects human pancreatic β cells and elicits β cell impairment”!

Delighted to share our latest story: GPCRs including the omega-3 fatty acid receptor FFAR4 localize to cilia of endocrine pancreas beta and alpha cells to regulate insulin and glucagon secretion. Collaboration with Seung Kim’s lab genesdev.cshlp.org/content/3…

Can COVID-19 lead to diabetes? Here’s a comment on our recent story in National Geographic nationalgeographic.com/scien… via @NatGeo

Our new study “SARS-CoV-2 infects human pancreatic β-cells and elicits β-cell impairment” is now online at Cell Metabolism (cell.com/cell-metabolism/ful…). We show that COVID-19 attacks beta cells and insulin secretion.

My article is featured on the @ResearchGate #COVID19 community page. Read it here: researchgate.net/publication… Wonderful team effort and a new, very rich pathway to explore. pjackson@stanford.edu

Our new article showing that COVID-19 infect multiciliated cells in airway epithelia is published in Nature Communications and featured on the @ResearchGate #COVID19 community page. Read it here: researchgate.net/publication…
