Grateful to have received the Blue Flame Award from @Addgene with this amazing team! 🔥
We’re deeply committed to open science — sharing the tools we develop so they can travel far beyond our lab benches and be widely used, thanks to Addgene.

Last week, our Horizon Europe consortium #APPEAL met in Barcelona for its annual meeting, beautifully organized by @leitat.bsky.social. Inspiring and productive discussions as we strengthen our efforts toward pandemic preparedness!

Congrats @gaudinlab.bsky.social!

Absolutely stunning! 🤩 Congrats

Thank you @harmitmalik.bsky.social! There are still many aspects of the mechanism at play with the enigmatic MX1 protein that we do not yet understand. Further research needed! ☺️

and last but not least @irim-life.bsky.social @cnrs.fr @umontpellier.bsky.social

Special thanks to great collaborators @sarahgalloism.bsky.social @corentinaube.bsky.social Emiliano Ricci, Manu Labaronne, Nadia Naffakh, Bénédicte Delaval, Raph Gaudin @gaudinlab.bsky.social, our funding agencies @erc.europa.eu @frm-officiel.bsky.social,

Highly collaborative work between Joe and many former and current team members @irim-life.bsky.social: Jimmy Cadènes, Francisco Garcia de Gracia, Mary Arnould, Ana Luiza Chaves Valadão, Marine Tauziet, @arebendenne.bsky.social et @oliviermoncorge.bsky.social.

transiently associates with them, and induces their retrograde transport via dynein and the microtubule network toward a perinuclear region near the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC), where the vRNPs remain sequestered.

Contrary to previous assumptions, we show in this study that the human restriction factor MX1 most potently inhibits human influenza A viruses during the late stages of replication. MX1 appears to sense trafficking viral ribonucleoproteins (vRNPs) en route to the plasma membrane,

Human MX1 orchestrates the cytoplasmic sequestration of neosynthesized influenza A virus vRNPs | PNAS Interferon-inducible Myxovirus resistance 1 (MX1) proteins are known to restrict influenza A virus (IAV) transcription/replication process. Herein,...

Finally taking the time to post about the fantastic conference #NSV2025, which was held at the #Corum, here in #Montpellier, South of France, and co-organized by Paul Duprex, Wendy Barclay, Sean Whelan and @oliviermoncorge.bsky.social! My whole team was there and we had a fantastic time!

Thanks Nate!!!!

A new article estimates that even a 10% DECLINE in MMR vax coverage in the US could lead to 11 MILLION US measles cases over 25 years.

IF instead MMR coverage INCREASES by 5%, cases would falled to <10K.

Given infectiousness of Measlies, it's VITAL to ⬆️ MMR vax rates.

Measles info below 1/2

Abstract submission and registration deadline for #NSV2025 coming super soon, don't miss it: it will be a fantastic meeting in our lovely city of Montpellier! Please repost ☺️

A second child has died in the Texas measles outbreak Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to attend the child's funeral, which is scheduled for Sunday.

Seems very unecessary. Get vaccinated
