@ydeigin @ydeigin can you point us to any figure in this paper where either of these mutations or an MERS spike chimera was made with an HKU4 molecular clone? thanks.
Standing ovation for Tony Fauci at #CROI2023
Its very sad that the British Society of Immunology won't provide a penny of support for an international meeting to celebrate the contributions of Prof. Av Mitchison, one of the most distinguished British immunologists of the 20th century.
Today’s episode of just asking questions is yet another tiresome speculative screed about the furin cleavage site in SARS-CoV-2 spike. But I noticed a new addition to this tedious argument: the FCS is described as a “unique pandemic feature.” Sooooo…is it?
UK, please drop the rhetoric and fight for collaboration with Europe nature.com/articles/d4158…
Great talks from members of G2P UK with some of our lab members! @stuartjdneil @GalaoRui Suzy Pickering @enricobravo @helena_wins @marianne_perera @tycour
Well done Dr Winstone @helena_wins. Another Neil Lab PhD veteran!
Well done @helena_wins @MariaJoseLista2 and colleagues @KCLImmunoMicro. Keep ‘em coming💪🏼💪🏼
Research published in Nature uncovers a mechanism by which small-molecule antagonists of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) can be inhibited pharmacologically, and demonstrates potential therapies for autoinflammatory disease go.nature.com/2KzY15y
Coming soon: two MRC-funded postdoc positions for a joint project between us and @Swanson_Chad. If you fancy studying RNA-directed antiviral restriction of HIV, Ebola and other RNA viruses, contact us for an informal chat.
