Happy to share our latest work in Science Signalling highlighting the essential role of ion channels in KSHV replication. It highlights Kv1.3 as a potential druggable host factor for this oncogenic virus.

Our #cryoET study of #RSV is out in @NatureComms!! rdcu.be/dNKAk Using #subtomogram averaging we show the matrix protein packs as a helical-like lattice. The Fusion gp arranges as F-trimer pairs & correlate w/the M lattice. Great work @Pangolininator & coauthors!❄️🔬🦠

It's our final seminar of the 23/24 series, and it's a great way to end in #alphavirus_heaven with @GeroldLab presenting her team's latest findings. All welcome to come join the discussion!
Please RT to help spread the word.
Any speaker suggestions for next series? Let us know.

We had a great time @BeCuriousLeeds this weekend!
~180 budding scientists visited our stall, matching up custom-made base pairs and using our ribosome wheel to turn their code into a (key)chain of amino acids.

Thank you to everyone that came today. It was a lot of fun! Hope you all had fun too! 😊🔬👩🔬
We're set up and ready to go for @BeCuriousLeeds tomorrow!
Come and join us in Michael Sadler LG 15 10:00-16:00, and discover lots of other brilliant stalls across @UniversityLeeds
The first hour will be a designated 'quiet hour'.
