And now we know why. Selective inhibition of host NMTs leads to viral egress through Golgi-bypassing pathway via lysosomes and ER, which interferes with the viral assembly and spike maturation leading to compromised infectivity of the released virions. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I had the pleasure to present my lab’s work at the The Florey Neuroscience Seminar Series today. Wonderful interactions and discussion. Thank you The Gordon Lab for the invitation. It was a pleasure!

Thank you Ramón Martínez-Mármol for organizing this exciting symposium! I’m very happy to be part of it. I hope to catch up with many colleagues in Perth in December 🧠

Congratulations to Saber 🚶🏻 for passing his PhD Viva! Quoting his examiner, he was ‘simply spectacular’. Thank you for this amazing PhD journey, Saber. I am very proud of your achievements and the scientist you have become. Ad astra! ⭐️ UQ News

Congratulations to Saber 🚶🏻 of UQ News, Australia, has been nominated by Dr Merja Joensuu 🇫🇮🇦🇺 in the #LabHeroes24 Awards! 🏆 Read Saber's nomination and tell us about the life science superstars in YOUR lab: ow.ly/rlEp50U7PAH #lifescientists #lifescience #scienceawards

🦠 We show that productive SARS-CoV-2 infection is dynamin-dependent, while alphaviruses, influenza, and bunyaviruses, among others, can use a currently uncharacterised alternative dynamin-independent and actin-dependent endocytic pathway. 🦠

In 2021–22, Australia spent 1.68% of GDP on research, down from approximately 2.25% in 2008–09. This is well below the average of 2.7% of GDP for Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations. 👎🏻 nature.com/articles/d4158…

For those frustrated and hurt by Australian Research Council processes, I'll remind of this: This paper was the cover of Nature Chemistry. ARC DP reviews rejected funding the underlying research FOUR TIMES IN A ROW. ARC Tracker nature.com/articles/s4155…

⚡️If you are at #ANS2024, don’t miss our symposium on Wednesday at 10:30am. I will discuss Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia 54 and our discovery of endogenous fatty acid metabolism fueling neuronal energy, and supporting neuronal functions. ⚡️🧫🔬Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) AIBN Research 👇🏻

Thank you to Victor, Vladimir, Merja and Yazi for their fantastic talks today at the 2024 Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) Meeting in Perth. Queensland Brain Institute, UQ, Anggono Lab, Dr Merja Joensuu 🇫🇮🇦🇺, MQ Dementia Research Centre

Things like this are so infuriating. Yes, an incredible amount of money is being spent to make articles freely available. But WAY more - over **40 BILLION DOLLARS** was spent over the same period to provide access to articles that are paywalled. The problem isn't open access -

Mosquito-borne viruses are on the rise and a growing concern for clinicians here in QLD and across the world. Viruses, like Japanese Encephalitis & dengue can cause brain inflammation, leading to serious neurological symptoms with currently limited treatment & vaccine options.
